An isogeny graph is a graph whose vertices are abelian varieties (typically elliptic curves, or Jacobians of genus 2 hyperelliptic curves) and whose edges are isogenies between them. Such a graph is "horizontal" if all the abelian varieties have the same endomorphism ring. We study the connectivity and the expander properties of these graphs. We use these results, together with a recent algorithm for computing explicit isogenies in genus 2, to prove random self-reducibility of the discrete logarithm problem for Jacobians of genus 2 hyperelliptic curves with fixed endomorphism ring. In addition, we remove the heuristics in the complexity analysis of an algorithm of Galbraith for explicitly computing isogenies between two elliptic curves in the same isogeny class, and extend it to a more general setting including genus 2.

    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.
