Jan 18, 2012 at 1:23 comment added Mehdi Tibouchi I should perhaps note, however (and sorry for commenting twice), that in principle, it might be possible to construct pairing-friendly curves over extension fields of a form like $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$ with the CM method (see e.g. the discussion in 4.1 of Barreto and Naehrig's paper). But $p$ still has to be large and you cannot fix it in advance, so it doesn't solve the problem in small characteristic.
Jan 18, 2012 at 1:11 comment added Mehdi Tibouchi If you check the output of Algorithms 4.2 and 5.1 in Freeman's paper, you'll find that all of his curves (and hence their Jacobians) are defined over prime fields. The $J(\mathbb{F}_{q^k})$ in the abstract is about finding where the full r-torsion of the Jacobian in contained.

Jan 17, 2012 at 19:45 comment added Samuel Neves I marked the above reply correct because I failed to specify genus in my question --- Freeman does seem to provide pairing-friendly curves in $J(F_{q^k})$ for genus 2. In genus 1, what you say makes sense.
