Abstract
L. H Encinas, A. J. Menezes and J. M. Masque in [3] proposed a classification of isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curve of genus 2 over finite fields with characteristic different from 2 and 5. Y. Choie and D. Yun in [2] obtained the number of isomorphic classes of hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 over $F_{2-}$ using direct counting method. We have obtained isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 over $F_{2n}$ for odd n, represented by an equation of the form $y^2$ + $a_{5}$ y = $x^{5}$ + $a_{8}$ x + $a_{10}$ ( $a_{5}$ $\neq$0) [1]. In this paper we characterize hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 over $F_{2n}$ for even n, represented by an equation of the form $y^2$ + $a_{5}$ y = $x^{5}$ + $a_{5}$ x + $a_{10}$ ( $a_{5}$ $\neq$0).>0).
