Twisted Edwards Curves

Daniel J. Bernstein, Peter Birkner, Marc Jóye, Tanja Lange, Christiane Peters · 2008

This paper introduces "twisted Edwards curves," a generalization of the recently introduced Edwards curves; shows that twisted Edwards curves include more curves over finite fields, and in particular every elliptic curve in Montgomery form; shows how to cover even more curves via isogenies; presents fast explicit formulas for twisted Edwards curves in projective and inverted coordinates; and shows that twisted Edwards curves save time for many curves that were already expressible as Edwards curves.
