Abstract: The Elliptic Curve Method (ECM) is a powerful and widely used algorithm for factorization which can be implemented with several different forms of elliptic curves. We will give some general background on the theory of elliptic curves and the ideas behind ECM. We will then discuss three families of curves and compare the speed of their addition methods in the implementation of ECM.
