Description
Let p be a small prime number, F a field of characteristic p and extension degree n, and E a hyperelliptic curve over F. In cryptography one tries to exploit the hardness of determining a discrete logarithm on the jacobian of such curves. In order to achieve this it is important to know what the size of this jacobian is. This parameter can be deduced from the zeta function of the curve.<br/> We will present algorithms to compute this zeta function for curves in one parameter families. The advantage of such `deformation' algorithms, when compared with Kedlaya's classical algorithm, is mainly a dramatically reduced memory usage, although a decrease in time requirements is attainable as well. We will also show the results of an implementation of such an algorithm.

Algorithms for post-quantum commutative group actions
Orateur : Marc Houben - Inria Bordeaux
At the historical foundation of isogeny-based cryptography lies a scheme known as CRS; a key exchange protocol based on class group actions on elliptic curves. Along with more efficient variants, such as CSIDH, this framework has emerged as a powerful building block for the construction of advanced post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, all protocols in this line of work are[…] -
Endomorphisms via Splittings
Orateur : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation
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[…]-
