D.12.3.33 ECPP

Procedure from library crypto.lib (see crypto_lib).

Usage:
ECPP(N);

Return:
message:N is not prime or {L,P,m,q} as certificate for N being prime
L a list (y^2=x^3+L[1]*x+L[2] defines an elliptic curve C)
P a list ((P[1]:P[2]:P[3]) is a point of C)
m,q integers

Assume:
gcd(N,6)=1

Note:
The basis of the algorithm is the following theorem:
Given C, an elliptic curve over Z/N, P a point of C(Z/N), m an integer, q a prime with the following properties:
- q|m
- q>(4-th root(N) +1)^2
- m*P=0=(0:1:0)
- (m/q)*P=(x:y:z) and z a unit in Z/N
Then N is prime.

Example:
 
LIB "crypto.lib";
bigint N=1267985441;
ECPP(N);
