An endomorphism ring is an algebraic structure formed by the collection of all endomorphisms of a given mathematical object, such as an abelian group or a module, equipped with appropriate operations. In the context of elliptic curves, an endomorphism is a homomorphism from an elliptic curve to itself. These rings reveal fundamental properties and symmetries of the underlying mathematical structure.
Context
In advanced cryptography, particularly within isogeny-based schemes, endomorphism rings of elliptic curves are central to the security proofs and construction of cryptographic primitives. Discussions in specialized crypto news often address their computational properties and how these relate to the hardness of problems used in post-quantum security. Their study is vital for developing new, resilient cryptographic systems against future computational threats.
