# elliptic curve point multiplicative inverse

is that possible to calculate the multiplicative inverse for an elliptic curve point . for example X is a point i need to calculate inverse of X such that X*X^-1 give me unity.

Please share with us an example and the own tries. Please give reference for the multiplicative structure on an elliptic curve.

Please define the "multiplication" on an elliptic curve, and also define a "unity" on it.

Usually, the operation on an elliptic curve $E$ is denoted additively, with the plus sign. For a (rational) point, usually denoted by $P$ on the curve, its inverse is denoted by $-P$ and computed in the same manner. For instance:

sage: E = EllipticCurve(QQ, [1,8])
sage: E.gens()
[(1/4 : 23/8 : 1)]
sage: P = E.gens()[0]; P
(1/4 : 23/8 : 1)
sage: -P
(1/4 : -23/8 : 1)

sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(2017), [1,8])
sage: P = E.random_point(); P
(488 : 578 : 1)
sage: -P
(488 : 1439 : 1)

sorry if the question is not clear. i will explain based on your example. given the point P. if i perform scalar multiplication 3*P that will give a new point say P2. my request is to how to calculate P from P2 .. can i make inverse scalar multiplication of P2 by 3 to get the original point P .
