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.

    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[…]
