Description
The curve shape suggested by Edwards does not define elliptic curves over fields of characteristic 2. We recently generalized the concept of Edwards curves and defined binary Edwards curves. These curves offer complete addition formulas and are the first binary curves with this property. Doubling and differential addition (addition of two points with known difference, like in the Montgomery ladder) are very fast on these curves. We present the design principles behind this choice of curve shape, present the birational equivalence with Weierstrass elliptic curves and explain how to obtain fast doubling and differential addition.<br/> This is joint work with Daniel J. Bernstein and Reza Rezaeian Farashahi.

Algorithms for post-quantum commutative group actions
Speaker : Marc Houben - Inria Bordeaux
At the historical foundation of isogeny-based cryptography lies a scheme known as CRS; a key exchange protocol based on class group actions on elliptic curves. Along with more efficient variants, such as CSIDH, this framework has emerged as a powerful building block for the construction of advanced post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, all protocols in this line of work are[…] -
Endomorphisms via Splittings
Speaker : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation
One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]-
