Igusa class polynomials are the genus-2 analogue of the classical Hilbert class polynomials. We explain these notions and discuss the differences between the classical (elliptic) case and the genus-2 case, mostly from a computational perspective. One of the main applications of Igusa class polynomials is the construction of genus-2 curves that are suitable for cryptography.

    We provide a generic construction to turn any classical Zero-Knowledge (ZK) protocol into a composable oblivious transfer (OT) protocol (the protocol itself involving quantum interactions), mostly lifting the round-complexity properties and security guarantees (plain-model/statistical security/unstructured functions…) of the ZK protocol to the resulting OT protocol. Such a construction is unlikely[…]
