Abstract
Let E be an elliptic curve described by either an Edwards model or a twisted Edwards model over Fp, namely, E is defined by one of the following equations x2 + y2 = a2(1 + x2y2), a5 - a ≠ 0 mod p, or, ax2 + y2 = 1 + dx2y2, ad(a - d) ≢ 0 mod p, respectively.We express the number of rational points of E over Fp using the Gaussian hypergeometric series 2F1 (Formula Presenrted) where ϵ and φ are the trivial and quadratic characters over Fp respectively. This enables us to evaluate |E(Fp)| for some elliptic curves E, and prove the existence of isogenies between E and Legendre elliptic curves over Fp.
