Description
The general number field sieve (GNFS) is the most efficient algorithm known for factoring large integers. It consists of several stages, the first one being polynomial selection. The running-time of the number field sieve depends on the quality of the chosen polynomials. The quality of the chosen polynomials can be modeled in terms of size and root properties. In this talk, we will describe some better algorithms to select polynomials with good size and root properties.<br/> The talk will be based on papers, Shi Bai, Cyril Bouvier, Alexander Kruppa and Paul Zimmermann. Better polynomials for GNFS. Math. Comp, 2015.<br/> Shi Bai, Richard Brent and Emmanuel Thomé. Root optimization of polynomials in the number field sieve. Math. Comp, 2015.

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[…]-
