Orientations of supersingular elliptic curves encode the information of an endomorphism of the curve. Computing the full endomorphism ring is a known hard problem, so one might consider how hard it is to find one such orientation. We prove that access to an oracle which tells if an elliptic curve is 𝔒-orientable for a fixed imaginary quadratic order 𝔒 provides non-trivial information towards computing an endomorphism corresponding to the 𝔒-orientation. We provide explicit algorithms and in-depth complexity analysis. We also consider the question in terms of quaternion algebras. We provide algorithms which compute an embedding of a fixed imaginary quadratic order into a maximal order of the quaternion algebra ramified at p and ∞. We provide code implementations in Sagemath which is efficient for finding embeddings of imaginary quadratic orders of discriminants up to O(p), even for cryptographically sized p.
