Abstract: We construct paring friendly curves of the form $Y^2 = X^5 + uX^3 + vX$ over large finite prime fields. The rho value of our family is always less than 4. Our method is based on the fact that, under a certain condition, the Jacobian $J$ of the curve splits to a square of an elliptic curve over the quadratic extension of the base field. However, the generated curves by our method are $F_p$-simple. A key ingredient is the construction of a pairing non-friendly elliptic curve by the modified Brezing-Weng-Freeman method so that $J$ is pairing friendly.
