Description
The correspondence between maximal orders in a quaternion algebra and supersingular elliptic curves has uncovered new perspectives in the field of isogeny-based cryptography. The KLPT algorithm of Kohel et al. in 2014 introduces an algorithm solving the quaternion isogeny path problem in polynomial time. Studying this problem has applications both constructive and destructive. It has allowed to reduce the problem of computing isogenies between two curves to the one of endomorphism ring computation. The GPS signature scheme from Galbraith et al. in 2017 was built on this algorithm.<br/> The main algorithm of KLPT solves the problem when the maximal order is special extremal. The paper also proposes a generalized version, but it produces an output with some very characteristic property that prevent from using it in some applications, like a generalization of the GPS signature. In this work, we propose a new method to generalize the algorithm. It produces a shorter solution with the same time complexity and without the problematic property.<br/> lien: https://e-learning.sviesolutions.com/pffi7slpuumw

Efficient zero-knowledge proofs and arguments in the CL framework
Speaker : Agathe Beaugrand - Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux
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,[…] -
Constant-time lattice reduction for SQIsign
Speaker : Sina Schaeffler - IBM Research
SQIsign is an isogeny-based signature scheme which has recently advanced to round 2 of NIST's call for additional post-quantum signatures. A central operation in SQIsign is lattice reduction of special full-rank lattices in dimension 4. As these input lattices are secret, this computation must be protected against side-channel attacks. However, known lattice reduction algorithms like the famous[…] -
Circuit optimisation problems in the context of homomorphic encryption
Speaker : Sergiu Carpov - Arcium
Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is an encryption scheme that enables the direct execution of arbitrary computations on encrypted data. The first generation of FHE schemes began with Gentry's groundbreaking work in 2019. It relies on a technique called bootstrapping, which reduces noise in FHE ciphertexts. This construction theoretically enables the execution of any arithmetic circuit, but[…] -
Cycles of pairing-friendly abelian varieties
Speaker : Maria Corte-Real Santos - ENS Lyon
A promising avenue for realising scalable proof systems relies on the existence of 2-cycles of pairing-friendly elliptic curves. More specifically, such a cycle consists of two elliptic curves E/Fp and E’/Fq that both have a low embedding degree and also satisfy q = #E(Fp) and p = #E’(Fq). These constraints turn out to be rather restrictive; in the decade that has passed since 2-cycles were first[…]-
