Abstract: Abstract We show that universal elliptic Carmichael numbers do not exist, answering a question of Silverman. Moreover, we show that the probability that an integer n, which is not a prime power, is an elliptic Carmichael number for a random curve E with good reduction modulo n, is bounded above by $$\mathcal{O}(\log ^{-1}n)$$ . If we choose both n and E at random, the probability that n is E-Carmichael is bounded above by $$\mathcal{O}(n^{-1/8+\epsilon })$$ .
