The CL encryption scheme, proposed in 2015 by Castagnos and Laguillaumie, is a linearly homomorphic encryption scheme, based on class groups of imaginary quadratic fields. The specificity of these groups is that their order is hard to compute, which means it can be considered unknown. This particularity, while being key in the security of the scheme, brings technical challenges in working with CL, especially in the design of zero-knowledge protocols. 

 

To overcome these difficulties, we define a new notion of soundness, called soundness with partial extractability, that is especially suited to the CL framework. Thanks to partial extractability, we design efficient zero-knowledge proofs and arguments for different CL-related statements. In this talk, after motivating the necessity of efficient protocols in the CL context, I will introduce this new notion and present a batched proof of correct encryption.

    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 --
