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.

    We provide a generic construction to turn any classical Zero-Knowledge (ZK) protocol into a composable oblivious transfer (OT) protocol (the protocol itself involving quantum interactions), mostly lifting the round-complexity properties and security guarantees (plain-model/statistical security/unstructured functions…) of the ZK protocol to the resulting OT protocol. Such a construction is unlikely[…]
