Description
By a well-known result of Dwork the zeta functions of the fibers in a one-parameter family of hypersurfaces can be described in terms of p-adic holomorphic functions. This result was used by A. Lauder in order to formulate a deter- ministic algorithm that computes the zeta function of a hypersurface in polynomial time. In this talk we describe a similiar method for elliptic curves which is based on rigid cohomology rather than Dwork cohomology. In contrast to Dwork's theory, rigid cohomology is closely related to the notions of classical algebraic geometry. We give an overview on the theoretical background, describe the essential steps of the algorithm and comment on the problem of p-adic precision estimates. We also report on computational results obtained by a MAGMA implementation. In the last part we explain the relation between both theories and how Lauder's general algorithm can be reformulated in terms of rigid cohomology. This shows up similiarities as well as differences between the two approaches.

Dual attacks in code-based (and lattice-based) cryptography
Orateur : Charles Meyer-Hilfiger - Inria Rennes
The hardness of the decoding problem and its generalization, the learning with errors problem, are respectively at the heart of the security of the Post-Quantum code-based scheme HQC and the lattice-based scheme Kyber. Both schemes are to be/now NIST standards. These problems have been actively studied for decades, and the complexity of the state-of-the-art algorithms to solve them is crucially[…]-

Lie algebras and the security of cryptosystems based on classical varieties in disguise
Orateur : Mingjie Chen - KU Leuven
In 2006, de Graaf et al. proposed a strategy based on Lie algebras for finding a linear transformation in the projective linear group that connects two linearly equivalent projective varieties defined over the rational numbers. Their method succeeds for several families of “classical” varieties, such as Veronese varieties, which are known to have large automorphism groups. In this talk, we[…]-
