Distortion maps for supersingular genus two curves

Distortion maps are a useful tool for pairing based cryptography. Compared with elliptic curves, the case of hyperelliptic curves of genus g > 1 is more complicated, since the full torsion subgroup has rank 2g. In this paper, we prove that distortion maps always exist for supersingular curves of...
