Description

  • Speaker

    Frederik Vercauteren - Katholieke Universiteit Leuven

In the past 5 years there has been an explosion of applications of pairings. In this talk we will describe a recent construction of a variant of the Tate pairing which results in a significant speed-up. Furthermore, we will elaborate on the status of pairing inversion and its implications on pairing based cryptography, but also finite field cryptography.

    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[…]
