Description

  • Speaker

    Moritz Minzlaff - Technische Universität Berlin

Motivated by applications to computing zeta functions, we will discuss the log de Rham and de Rham cohomologies of smooth schemes (together with 'nice' divisors) over the Witt vectors. For the former, we will give an explicit description that eventually might lead to improvements to point counting algorithms. Regarding the latter, we will measure "how far" the de Rham cohomology of a curve is from being finitely generated in terms of the Hasse-Witt invariant of its special fibre.

    • December 12, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • Salle Guernesey à l'ISTIC

    Speaker : Mahshid Riahinia - ENS, CNRS

    Public-Key Pseudorandom Correlation Functions (PK-PCF) are an exciting recent primitive introduced to enable fast secure computation. Despite significant advances in the group-based setting, success in the post-quantum regime has been much more limited. In this talk, I will introduce an efficient lattice-based PK-PCF for the string OT correlation. At the heart of our result lie several technical[…]

  • Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction

    • December 19, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : Paola de Perthuis - CWI

    Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as `Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens[…]

  • Attacking the Supersingular Isogeny Problem: From the Delfs–Galbraith algorithm to oriented graphs

    • January 23, 2026 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    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[…]
