### Paper: Generating more MNT elliptic curves

Authors: Michael Scott Paulo S.L.M Barreto URL: http://eprint.iacr.org/2004/058 Search ePrint Search Google In their seminal paper, Miyaji, Nakabayashi and Takano~\cite{miyaji-nakabayashi-takano} describe a simple method for the creation of elliptic curves of prime order with embedding degree 3, 4, or 6. Such curves are important for the realisation of pairing-based cryptosystems on ordinary (non-supersingular) elliptic curves. We provide an alternative derivation of their results, and extend them to allow for the generation of many more suitable curves.
