    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.

    One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]
