Abstract: | We provide the first explicit construction of genus 2 curves over finite fields whose Jacobians are ordinary, have large prime-order subgroups, and have small embedding degree. Our algorithm works for arbitrary embedding degrees $k$ and prime subgroup orders $r$. The resulting abelian surfaces are defined over prime fields $\F_q$ with $q \approx r^4$. We also provide an algorithm for constructing genus 2 curves over prime fields $\F_q$ with ordinary Jacobians $J$ having the property that $J[r] \subset J(\F_{q})$ or $J[r] \subset J(\F_{q^k})$ for any even $k$. |
