Description

    Christiaan van de Woestijne - Montanuniversität Leoben

It is a curious fact that most efficient algorithms for solving algebraic equations over finite fields are probabilistic. In this talk, I will give an overview over deterministic techniques that are applicable. The case of constructing rational points on elliptic curves is especially relevant for cryptographic applications. I will give a detailed exposition of my algorithm for this purpose and also discuss the complexity from various viewpoints.

    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[…]
