Starting in about 1985, the theory of elliptic and hyperelliptic curves over finite fields has been applied to various problems in cryptography: factorization of integers, primality testing, and construction of cryptosystems. In this chapter we shall discuss the last of these. One of the main reasons for interest in cryptosystems based on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves is that these curves are a source of a tremendous number of finite abelian groups having a rich algebraic structure.
