Until recently, the best known algorithm for solving a Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) in the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic genus 3 curve ran in time \softO(q^(4/3)), while the best known algorithm for non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curves ran in time \softO(q). In this talk, we describe an efficient algorithm for moving instances of the DLP from a hyperelliptic genus 3 Jacobian to a non-hyperelliptic Jacobian, by means of an explicit isogeny. This allows us to solve the DLP on a large class of hyperelliptic genus 3 Jacobians in time \softO(q).

    At the historical foundation of isogeny-based cryptography lies a scheme known as CRS; a key exchange protocol based on class group actions on elliptic curves. Along with more efficient variants, such as CSIDH, this framework has emerged as a powerful building block for the construction of advanced post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, all protocols in this line of work are[…]

    One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]
