Description

  • Speaker

    Arthur Herlédan Le Merdy - COSIC, KU Leuven

The threat of quantum computers motivates the introduction of new hard problems for cryptography.
One promising candidate is the Isogeny problem: given two elliptic curves, compute a “nice’’ map between them, called an isogeny.

In this talk, we study classical attacks on this problem, specialised to supersingular elliptic curves, on which the security of current isogeny-based cryptography relies. In particular, we consider this problem as a path-finding problem in graphs of supersingular elliptic curves connected by isogenies. We first present the Delfs–Galbraith attack and some follow-ups, which leverage the fact that solving the Isogeny problem for curves defined over the base field is easier. We then detail ongoing work where this idea is extended to another family of curves, called oriented curves.

    We give a strict generalisation of the LLL algorithm over number fields, based on the reduction theory of  $GL(n)$ over the adele ring of a number field. Our algorithm is free of heuristics, with rigorous bounds on output quality and complexity.   -- based on joint work with Seungki Kim, Changmin Lee and Phong Nguyen --
