On Fast Algebraic Attacks
Speaker : Frederik Armknecht - Universitat Mannheim
An algebraic attack is a method for cryptanalysis which is based on finding and solving a system of nonlinear equations. Recently, algebraic attacks where found helpful in cryptanalysing stream ciphers based on linear feedback shift registers. The efficiency of these attacks greatly depends on the degree of the nonlinear equations.<br/> At Crypto 2003, Courtois proposed fast algebraic attacks. The[…] -

On the Subexponentiality of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem over Extension Fields
Speaker : Clauss Diem - Universität Essen
The purpose of the talk is to present the following heuristic result.<br/> Let a, b in R with 0 < a < b. Then discrete logarithms in E(F_q^n), where q is a prime power, a log_2(q) \leq n \leq b \log_2(q)$ and E/F_q^n is any elliptic curve over F_q^n, can be solved in probabilistic subexponential time L[3/4].<br/> The algorithm is a variant of a recent index calculus algorithm by Gaudry. The main[…] -

Constructions in public-key cryptography over matrix groups
Speaker : Ilia Ponomarenko - Université de Saint Petersbourg
A new two-parties key agreement protocol based on identities in groups is proposed. For abelian groups this protocol is, in fact, the Diffie-Hellman one. We also discuss a general scheme producing matrix groups for which our protocol can have a secure realization. -

Preuves interactives de théorèmes et développement de programmes certifiés
Speaker : Pierre Castéran - LABRI
L'exposé se veut une introduction à l'assistant de démonstration Coq, ( http://coq.inria.fr ) ainsi qu'au formalisme sur lequel se base cet outil : le Calcul des Constructions Inductives. Des exemples, empruntés aux mathématiques ou a l'algorithmique, montreront la puissance d'expression de ce formalisme. -

Constructing elliptic curves by p-adic methods
Speaker : Peter Stevenhagen - University of Leiden
We will discuss a p-adic method to construct an elliptic curve over a finite field such that the group of rational points over the base field has some prescribed order N. The method uses ideas of Couveignes-Henocq, and is being developed and improved by my PhD student Reinier Broker. -

Rigid cohomology and point counting on varieties over finite fields
Speaker : Ralf Gerkmann - Universitat Erlangen
n 2001 K. Kedlaya suggested an algorithm to compute the zeta function of a hyperelliptic curve over a finite field of small odd characteristic. The basic idea of his approach is to compute the explicit Frobenius action on the Monsky-Washniter cohomology in dimension one. Later his method was extended by P. Gaudry and N. Guerel to superelliptic curve and by J. Denef and F. Vercauteren to[…] -
