    Damien Robert - LORIA

Isogenies are an essential tool in Elliptic Curves cryptography, where they are used in a wide variety of area: fast point counting, complex multiplication methods... Velu's formulas give an efficient method for computing such isogenies, but there are no formula known for curves of higher genera or general abelian varieties (except some special case for isogenies of degree 2). In this talk we will present the framework of the theta structure on an abelian variety, developped by Mumford in 1967, which allows us to compute isogenies. For this we lift a theta null point of level $l$, corresponding to an abelian variety B, to the modular space of theta null points of level $lk$. We use a specialized Groebner algorithm that considerably speed-up this phase, and we show how to detect degenerate solutions. To each lifted point corresponds an isogeny of degree $\pi: A \to B$ of degree $k$. We then explain how to compute their dual efficiently.<br/> This is a joint work with Jean-Charles Faugere and David Lubicz.

    Je vais rappeler les travaux de Nuida et Ostrovski sur l'utilisation des groupes pour l'élaboration de schémas cryptographiques homomorphes. Je vais présenter nos travaux qui fournissent des encodages à la fois plus efficaces et plus généraux, et qui déterminent exactement quels groupes peuvent être utilisés.   Puis je vais discuter GRAFHEN, un protocole qui utilise ces idées.

    Robert recently described a powerful correspondence between certain (Hermitian) modules and (polarized) abelian varieties, which simultaneously generalizes both the class-group action underlying protocols such as CSIDH, and the Deuring correspondence, underlying protocols such as SQIsign. Using this correspondence, he also proposed how to construct a post-quantum NIKE, called MIKE, which, at a[…]
