Description

  • Speaker

    Cyril Bouvier - Institut de mathématiques de Bordeaux

In this talk, I'll prove some divisibility properties of the cardinality of elliptic curve groups modulo primes. These proofs explain the good behavior of certain parameters when using Montgomery or Edwards curves in the setting of the elliptic curve method (ECM) for integer factorization. The ideas behind the proofs can be used to find new infinite families of elliptic curves with good division properties increasing the success probability of ECM This is a joint work with Razvan Barbulescu, Joppe W. Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung and Peter L. Montgomery.

    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.
