Cubic surfaces over finite fields

It is well-known that the set of rational points on an elliptic curve forms an abelian group. When the curve is given as a plane cubic in Weierstrass form the group operation is defined via tangent and secant operations. Let S be a smooth cubic surface over a field K. Again one can define tangent an...
