Elliptic Curve Primality Proving

A class of algorithm, abbreviated ECPP, which provides certificates of primality using sophisticated results from the theory of Elliptic Curves. A detailed description and list of references are given by Atkin and Morain (1990, 1993).


Adleman and Huang (1987) designed an independent algorithm using elliptic curves of genus two.
