Abstract

Motivated by the interest in elliptic curves both from a theoretical (algebraic geometry) and applied (cryptography) perspective, we conduct a preliminary study on the underlying mathematical structure of these mathematical structures. Hence, this paper mainly focuses on investigating artificial intelligence techniques to enhance the efficiency of Schoof's algorithm for point counting across various elliptic curve distributions, achieving varying levels of success.
