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.

    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[…]
