Description
I will describe an algorithm for computing the zeta function of an arbitrary hyperelliptic curve in characteristic 2. This is a generalisation of an earlier method of myself and Wan, which tackled a restricted class of curves. The algorithm reduces the problem to that of computing the L-function of an additive character sum over an open subset of the projective line. This latter task can be achieved using the Dwork-Reich trace formula, Dwork's analytic construction of an additive character, and a method for `cohomological reduction' similar to the `Hermite reduction' algorithm used in the symbolic integration of rational functions. The talk is based upon joint work with Daqing Wan. See http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/work/alan.lauder/ for a version of the earlier paper, which has now appeared in LMS JCM, and also two other related papers.

CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier
Speaker : Bruno Blanchet - Inria
CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]-
