Classification of Elements in Elliptic Curve Over the Ring 𝔽q[ɛ]

Abstract Let 𝔽q[ɛ] := 𝔽q [X]/(X4 − X3) be a finite quotient ring where ɛ4 = ɛ3, with 𝔽q is a finite field of order q such that q is a power of a prime number p greater than or equal to 5. In this work, we will study the elliptic curve over 𝔽q[ɛ], ɛ4 = ɛ3 of characteristic p ≠ 2, 3 given by homogeneous Weierstrass equation of the form Y 2Z = X3 + aXZ2 + bZ3 where a and b are parameters taken in 𝔽q[ɛ]. Firstly, we study the arithmetic operation of this ring. In addition, we define the elliptic curve Ea,b(𝔽q[ɛ]) and we will show that Eπ0(a),π0(b)(𝔽q) and Eπ1(a),π1(b)(𝔽q) are two elliptic curves over the finite field 𝔽q, such that π0 is a canonical projection and π1 is a sum projection of coordinate of element in 𝔽q[ɛ]. Precisely, we give a classification of elements in elliptic curve over the finite ring 𝔽q[ɛ].
