Description

  • Speaker

    Frederik Vercauteren - Bristol University

Kedlaya described an algorithm for computing the zeta function of a hyperelliptic curve in characteristic p > 2 using the theory of Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology. Joint work with Jan Denef has resulted in 2 extensions of Kedlaya's original algorithm: the first extension can be used to compute the zeta function of a hyperelliptic curve in characteristic 2 and the second leads to a rather general method which works for any C_ab curve in any small characteristic. Furthermore, results obtained with an implemtation of both algorithms will be presented.

    The threat of quantum computers motivates the introduction of new hard problems for cryptography.One promising candidate is the Isogeny problem: given two elliptic curves, compute a “nice’’ map between them, called an isogeny.In this talk, we study classical attacks on this problem, specialised to supersingular elliptic curves, on which the security of current isogeny-based cryptography relies.
