Description

The purpose of the talk is to present the following heuristic result.<br/> Let a, b in R with 0 < a < b. Then discrete logarithms in E(F_q^n), where q is a prime power, a log_2(q) \leq n \leq b \log_2(q)$ and E/F_q^n is any elliptic curve over F_q^n, can be solved in probabilistic subexponential time L[3/4].<br/> The algorithm is a variant of a recent index calculus algorithm by Gaudry. The main difference is that we increase the factor base.

    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[…]
