Description
For many mutli-party applications group signatures are important cryptographic primitives that can be used for the purpose of anonymity and privacy. In classical group signatures members of a group are able to sign messages anonymously on behalf of the group. However, there exists a designated authority, called group manager, that initializes the scheme, adds new group members, and is able to open group signatures, i.e., identify the signer. Obviously, in classical group signatures the group manager is given enormous power compared to other group members and is required to be trusted to act as predestinated. On the other hand there exist multi-party applications where such centralized control (trust) is undesirable, e.g., federated (democratic) systems. For this kind of applications it is desirable to have a group signature scheme which provides similar properties but is independent of any centralized control.

Attacking the Supersingular Isogeny Problem: From the Delfs–Galbraith algorithm to oriented graphs
Speaker : Arthur Herlédan Le Merdy - COSIC, KU Leuven
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.
