Description

  • Speaker

    Kiran Kedlaya - San Diego University

We describe an algorithm of Harvey, improved and implemented by Harvey and Sutherland, which given a hyperelliptic curve of genus g over Q computes its zeta function over F_p for all p <= N in such a way that the average time per prime is polynomial in g and log(N). The method is based on p-adic cohomology, specifically the algorithms of Kedlaya and Harvey; the key new observation is that one can set up the cohomology computation in a manner which is almost entirely independent of p, and thus reuse much of the computation.

    Speaker : Bruno Blanchet - Inria

    CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]
