Since the appearance of the authors' first volume on elliptic curve
cryptography in 1999 there has been tremendous progress in the
field. In some topics, particularly point counting, the progress
has been spectacular. Other topics such as the Weil and Tate
pairings have been applied in new and important ways to
cryptographic protocols that hold great promise. Notions such as
provable security, side channel analysis and the Weil descent
technique have also grown in importance. This second volume
addresses these advances and brings the reader up to date.
Prominent contributors to the research literature in these areas
have provided articles that reflect the current state of these
important topics. They are divided into the areas of protocols,
implementation techniques, mathematical foundations and pairing
based cryptography. Each of the topics is presented in an
accessible, coherent and consistent manner for a wide audience that
will include mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers.
