Finding ECM-friendly curves through a study of Galois properties

Razvan Barbulescu, Joppe W. Bos, Cyril Bouvier, Thorsten Kleinjung and Peter L. Montgomery

Vol. 1 (2013), No. 1, 63–86
Abstract

We prove some divisibility properties of the cardinality of elliptic curve groups modulo primes. These proofs explain the good behavior of certain parameters when using Montgomery or Edwards curves in the setting of the elliptic curve method (ECM) for integer factorization. The ideas behind the proofs help us to find new infinite families of elliptic curves with good division properties increasing the success probability of ECM.
