Description
We present elliptic curves in Edwards form. Using this curve shape we benefit from very fast arithmetic. We will show the affine addition formulas as well as the fast projective formulas. A further speed-up is gained from using inverted coordinates. We will compare these to other coordinate systems which are derived from the Weierstrass normal form. In particular, we will show how Edwards curves relate to elliptic curves in Montgomery form. This leads to the notion of twisted Edwards curves which we will use to explain more about the geometric structure of Edwards curves.

Polytopes in the Fiat-Shamir with Aborts Paradigm
Speaker : Hugo Beguinet - ENS Paris / Thales
The Fiat-Shamir with Aborts paradigm (FSwA) uses rejection sampling to remove a secret’s dependency on a given source distribution. Recent results revealed that unlike the uniform distribution in the hypercube, both the continuous Gaussian and the uniform distribution within the hypersphere minimise the rejection rate and the size of the proof of knowledge. However, in practice both these[…]-
