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.

Adelic reduction of module lattices
Orateur : Henry Bambury - DGA-MI et Inria Rennes
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 ---

Post-quantum day of the cryptography seminar
A scientific day devoted to post-quantum cryptography, held in the wake of the European Cyber Week, with talks more technical than those presented at the ECW.
