Direct sum of two points on an elliptic curve

383 Views Asked by At

Given $E:y^{2} = x^{3}+9x$ over $\mathbb{Z}_{71}$, and $A = (0,0), \: B = (1,9)$, I'm asked to find $C=A\oplus B$. I just don't know how the direct sum of two points on an elliptic curve is defined, or if this symbol has a different meaning in the context of EC. Can somebody help me?
