Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems
Details
Kyle Pointer will be presenting on Neal Koblitz's paper titled Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems. You can download a copy of the paper here (http://math.boisestate.edu/~liljanab/MATH508/KoblitzEmbedding.pdf).

A message from Kyle Pointer:
Anyone who is interested in better understanding some of the math behind this paper might be interested in the book Algebraic Aspects of Cryptography[1], also written by Neal Koblitz. It contains a LOT of background that is useful in understanding the paper. Many of the details that are left out of the paper are covered somewhere in this relatively short text.
And, for the true math heroes among you who, I can suggest you check out Koblitz's Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms[2].
AND, just in case you want to have a book that your friends will think covers an oddly specific topic, Alex (who was at our last meeting) suggested the book Rational Points on Elliptic Curves[3] to me, and I've been enjoying it quite a bit as well.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to frantically struggle through a lot of math that I don't understand yet so that I can give a presentation with minimal hand-waving!
