Expand description
Projective points on a generalized Hessian curve.
We represent points on
$$X^3 + Y^3 + cZ^3 = dXYZ$$
by projective triples (X:Y:Z).
This choice is important for Hessian curves because the neutral element is a point at infinity:
$$O = (1 : -1 : 0).$$
The formulas implemented here follow:
- Farashahi–Joye, §2–§4 for the generalized Hessian model,
- the EFD projective Hessian formulas for the ordinary Hessian case.
In particular:
- negation is
-(X:Y:Z) = (Y:X:Z), - doubling uses the projective formulas from equation (6) in the paper,
- addition uses the unified formulas (9), with formulas (10) as a fallback for the exceptional cases described in §4.
