Atkin, along with Noam Elkies, extended Schoof's algorithm to create the Schoof-Elkies-Atkin algorithm. Noam D. Elkies (born 1966 in New York City) is a mathematician. ... Schoofs algorithm, first described by R. Schoof in 1985, allows one to calculate the number of points on an elliptic curve over a finite field and is used mostly in elliptic curve cryptography. ... The Schoof-Elkies-Atkin algorithm (SEA) is an algorithm used for finding the order of or calculate the number of points on an elliptic curve over a finite field. ...
Atkin, together with Daniel J. Bernstein, developed the Sieve of Atkin. Daniel Julius Bernstein (sometimes known simply as djb; born October 29, 1971) is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, a mathematician, a cryptologist, and a programmer. ... In mathematics, the sieve of Atkin is a fast, modern algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to a specified integer. ...
Atkin is also known for his work on properties of the integer partition function and the monster module.
