Memetic Search for Supersingular Elliptic Curves over $\mathbb{F}_p$
The search for supersingular elliptic curves is a fundamental computational problem in isogeny-based cryptography. A recent metaheuristic formulation over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$ introduced the NonMultiplicity Distance (NMD) objective, measuring the deviation of the Frobenius trace from a multiple of $p$, and showed that un...
