  • \(2^k - 1\) (Mersenne Primes)
  • \(2^k - c\)

Examples

  • NIST "Recommended Elliptic Curves for Federal Government Use"
    • p-192: \(2^{192} − 2^{64} − 1\)
    • p-224: \(2^{224} − 2^{96} + 1\)
    • p-256: \(2^{256} − 2^{224} + 2^{192} + 2^{96} − 1\)
    • p-384: \(2^{384} − 2^{128} − 2^{96} + 2^{32} − 1\)
  • Curve448
    • \(2^{448} - 2^{224} + 1\)
