Abstract.

We propose a reduced equation for hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 over finite fields ? q of q elements with characteristic different from 2 and 5. We determine the number of isomorphism classes of genus-2 hyperelliptic curves having an ? q -rational Weierstrass point. These results have applications to hyperelliptic curve cryptography.
