Hello Feng, "Hao, Feng" <Feng.Hao@warwick.ac.uk> wrote: > That current map-to-curve functions don’t preclude low-order points > is a known fact, and acknowledged by the authors in their papers. The function that is being standardized is hash_to_curve, which has the properties I listed in my prior email. Conforming implementations of the hash-to-curve draft do not have the issue you have raised in this thread, period, because no conforming implementation uses one of the deterministic maps in a standalone way. Further discussion of whether the deterministic maps described in the hash-to-curve draft do or do not return low-order points is not a good use of time. Yes, they do. We all know that. But that is irrelevant, because they should never be used on their own. Regards, -=rsw
