Method of Selecting Base Point in Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem on GF(p)

Guizhang Lu · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2003

The elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC)is one of the main stream public key cryptosystems. ECC's security is based on elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem(ECDLP), but its system parameters also have great influence on ECC's security. Base point is an important system parameter, and base point's order has been prescribed to be the big prime factor of elliptic curve's order in many international standards for the reason of security.
