Global duality and the discrete logarithm problem in abelian algebraic groups over finite fields (joint work with Ming-Deh Huang).

We describe a framework for treating the discrete log problem in abelian algebraic groups over finite fields using global duality. We then describe in more detail how this works for the multiplicative group of a finite field and for the group of points on an elliptic curve over a finite field.
