Description

    Robert Carls - University of Ulm

This talk is about joint work with David Lubicz. By a classical result of Serre and Tate the deformation space of an ordinary abelian variety is given by a formal torus. In Serre-Tate coordinates the problem of canonical lifting is trivial. Unfortunately, in general it is difficult to compute the Serre-Tate parameters of a given abelian variety. Alternatively, one may use canonical coordinates which are induced by a canonical theta structure. Mumford introduced theta structures in order to construct an arithmetic moduli space of abelian varieties. We apply a multi-variate Hensel lifting procedure to a certain set of p-adic theta identities which are obtained using Mumford's formalism of algebraic theta functions. As an application we give a point counting algorithm for ordinary abelian varieties over a finite field which is quasi-quadratic in the degree of the finite field.

    I will present our key-recovery attack on the ACDGV public-key encryption scheme proposed at ASIACRYPT 2024 by Aragon, Couvreur, Dyseryn, Gaborit, and Vinçotte. The secret key is a Gabidulin code hidden by appending random rows and columns and by left- and right-multiplication with invertible matrices. Our attack exploits the resulting algebraic structure to recover an equivalent secret key. It[…]

    The Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem is the fundamental hardness assumption underlying the key encapsulation and signature schemes ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which have been selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography standardization. Understanding its quantum hardness is crucial for assessing the security of these standardized schemes.   Inspired by the equivalence between LWE and[…]
