Description
Division polynomials express multiples of *affine* points on Weierstrass elliptic curves over fields. The restriction to affine points becomes an issue with elliptic curves over arbitrary rings, where it may happen that there are multiple 'points at infinity'. We will explain how a modification of the classical division polynomials describes multiplication on all points of Weierstrass elliptic curves over arbitrary rings.

Algorithms for post-quantum commutative group actions
Speaker : Marc Houben - Inria Bordeaux
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[…] -
Endomorphisms via Splittings
Speaker : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation
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[…]-
