Abstract

The chapter delves into the significance of the Tate pairing in curve-based cryptography, highlighting its ubiquitous role in both elliptic and hyperelliptic curves. It explores how the Tate profile can transform knowledge of rational torsion into insights about the Sylow subgroups, which is pivotal for enhancing cryptographic schemes. The text provides a detailed analysis of the Tate profile's applications, including smart torsion basis sampling, entangled basis generation, and subgroup membership testing. Additionally, it offers optimizations for computing the 2-Tate profile on Kummer surfaces, demonstrating significant improvements in efficiency. The chapter concludes with a practical example of subgroup membership testing on the Gaudry–Schost Kummer surface, showcasing the effectiveness of the optimized cubical arithmetic approach. This comprehensive exploration not only advances theoretical understanding but also provides actionable insights for practical cryptographic implementations.
