    Yaacov Kopeliovich

In this talk we apply Thomae formulas to obtain algebraic relations satisfied by Riemann surfaces that are cyclic covers of the Sphere. We focus on the genus 2 case and then give an example of a higher genus case (g=4) that was not known before. The conjectural connection of these identities as well as Thomae formulas to the moduli action of the Braid group is explained.<br/> We present a programming challenge to fully solve the g=4 problem.

    I will present our key-recovery attack on the ACDGV public-key encryption scheme proposed at ASIACRYPT 2024 by Aragon, Couvreur, Dyseryn, Gaborit, and Vinçotte. The secret key is a Gabidulin code hidden by appending random rows and columns and by left- and right-multiplication with invertible matrices. Our attack exploits the resulting algebraic structure to recover an equivalent secret key. It[…]

    The Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem is the fundamental hardness assumption underlying the key encapsulation and signature schemes ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which have been selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography standardization. Understanding its quantum hardness is crucial for assessing the security of these standardized schemes.   Inspired by the equivalence between LWE and[…]
