Abstract

Here, we improve our previous bound on the number of finite fields over which elliptical curves of cryptographic interest with a given embedding degree and small complex multiplication discrimination may excist. We also give some heuristic arguements which lead to a lower bound which in some cases is close to our upper bound.
