Is generating random blake256 hashes until packed points is on the curve, a safe algorithm to avoid the discrete log between the generated points?
I know there’re many questions that ask how to safely HashToCurve, but I want to know if the method I found in an actual implementation is secured against the ...

Best Known Attacks on Discrete Logarithm in Generic Groups
This is a followup to my recent question Discrete Logarithm Challenges and Records.
I am interested in confirming my understandings from the answer to that question, stated below:
For a discrete ...

ECC algorithm pollard's $\rho$ complexity
One of the methods to break a ECDLP is Pollard's rho algorithm. When ECDLP is defined over a finite field $F_p$, and given a relation $S=w.T$, where S and T are a member of $F_p$. Then ECDLP is to ...

Elliptic curve representation
According to this page, Edward's curve point doubling can be represented in a different way by assuming $c=1$ and $d = r^2$.
It then says we can represent $x y$ as $Y Z$ satisfying $r\cdot y = \frac ...

Knowing interval of discrete log for elliptic curve
Are there any special attacks I can apply if I know the upper bound for $n$ (meaning $0 \le n \le \text{Upper Bound}$) in the equation $Q = nP$, where $P$ is the base point and I'm trying to solve for ...

Pollard's Lambda algorithm ecdlp with Pohlig Hellman
I'm trying to solve the ECDLP problem given an elliptic curve defined over a prime field. This prime is large (about 256 bits).
I managed to factor the order of the curve, and most of the prime ...

Index calculus over elliptic curve over function field
According to my understanding there are some pretty solid seeming roadblocks to carrying out an index calculus on an elliptic curve over a finite field. The general strategy is to take points over $E(\...
