Hello, I am using Sage for operations on elliptic curves and I was curious what is the default algorithm used to compute the cardinality of a curve when: "E.cardinality()" is used? I tried to find it here: http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/curves/sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/ell_finite_field.html but I only found out there are some algorithms which you can choose as an optional argument. Is it the Schoof's algorithm?
