Elliptic Curves over Finite Fields

Abstract

Jacobi was the first person to suggest (in 1835) using the group law on a cubic curve E. The chord-tangent method does give rise to a group law if a point is fixed as the zero element. This can be done over any field over which there is a rational point.
