Elliptic Pseudoprime


Let E be an elliptic curve defined over the field of rationals Q(sqrt(-d)) having equation

 y^2=x^3+ax+b

with a and b integers. Let P be a point on E with integer coordinates and having infinite order in the additive group of rational points of E, and let n be a composite natural number such that (-d/n)=-1, where (-d/n) is the Jacobi symbol. Then if

 (n+1)P=0 (mod n),

n is called an elliptic pseudoprime for (E,P).
