On Ordinary Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems

Recently, a method, reducing the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem(EDLP) to the discrete logarithm problem(DLP) in a finite field, was proposed. But this reducing is valid only when Weil pairing can be defined over the m-torsion group which includes the base point of EDLP. If an elliptic curve is ordinary, there exists EDLP to which we cannot apply the reducing. In this paper, we investigate the condition for which this reducing is invalid. We show the next two main results.
