    Kiran Kedlaya - Berkeley

Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology is a p-adic cohomology theory for algebraic varieties over finite fields, based on algebraic de Rham cohomology. Unlike the l-adic (etale) cohomology, it is well-suited for explicit computations, particularly over fields of small characteristic. We describe how to use Monsky-Washnitzer to construct efficient algorithms for computing zeta functions of varieties over finite fields, using as an example the case of hyperelliptic curves in odd characteristic.

    CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]
