In this paper we present a $p$-adic algorithm to compute the zeta function of a nondegenerate curve over a finite field using Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology. The paper vastly generalizes previous work since all known cases, e.g. hyperelliptic, superelliptic and $C_{ab}$ curves, can be transformed to fit the nondegenerate case. For curves with a fixed Newton polytope, the property of being nondegenerate is generic, so that the algorithm works for almost all curves with given Newton polytope. For a genus $g$ curve over $\FF_{p^n}$, the expected running time is $\widetilde{O}(n^3 g^6 + n^2 g^{6.5})$, whereas the space complexity amounts to $\widetilde{O}(n^3 g^4)$, assuming $p$ is fixed.

We present an algorithm for computing the zeta function of an arbitrary hyperelliptic curve over a finite field $\FF_q$ of characteristic 2, thereby extending the algorithm of Kedlaya for odd characteristic. For a genus $g$ hyperelliptic curve defined over $\FF_{2^n}$, the average-case time complexity is $O(g^{4 + \varepsilon} n^{3 + \varepsilon})$ and the average-case space complexity is $O(g^{3} n^{3})$, whereas the worst-case time and space complexities are $O(g^{5 + \varepsilon} n^{3 + \varepsilon})$ and $O(g^{4} n^{3})$ respectively.
