Description
The function field sieve, an algorithm of subexponential complexity L(1/3) that computes discrete logarithms in finite fields, has recently been improved to an L(1/4) algorithm, and subsequently to a quasi-polynomial time algorithm. Since index calculus algorithms for computing discrete logarithms in Jacobians of algebraic curves are based on very similar concepts and results, the natural question arises whether the recent improvements of the function field sieve can be applied in the context of algebraic curves. While we are not able to give a final answer to this question at this point, since this is work in progress, we discuss a number of ideas, experiments, and possible conclusions.

Schéma de signature à clé publique : Frobénius-UOV
Speaker : Gilles Macario-Rat - Orange
L'exposé présente un schéma de signature à clé publique post-quantique inspiré du schéma UOV et introduisant un nouvel outil : les formes de Frobénius. L'accent est mis sur le rôle et les propriétés des formes de Frobénius dans ce nouveau schéma : la simplicité de description, la facilité de mise en oeuvre et le gain inédit sur les tailles de signature et de clé qui bat RSA-2048 au niveau de[…] -
