    Abstract

    Constructing an elliptic curve of prime order has a significant role in elliptic curve cryptography. In this paper, we propose an efficient technique to generate an elliptic curve of nearly prime order. Precisely, this algorithm produces an elliptic curve of cofactor 2. Presently, the most known working algorithms for generating elliptic curves of prime order are based on complex multiplication. The advantages of proposed algorithm are: it is relatively simple, easy to implement and produces an elliptic curve of a remarkably simple expression.
