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.

Verification of Rust Cryptographic Implementations with Aeneas
Orateur : Aymeric Fromherz - Inria
From secure communications to online banking, cryptography is the cornerstone of most modern secure applications. Unfortunately, cryptographic design and implementation is notoriously error-prone, with a long history of design flaws, implementation bugs, and high-profile attacks. To address this issue, several projects proposed the use of formal verification techniques to statically ensure the[…] -
On the average hardness of SIVP for module lattices of fixed rank
Orateur : Radu Toma - Sorbonne Université
In joint work with Koen de Boer, Aurel Page, and Benjamin Wesolowski, we study the hardness of the approximate Shortest Independent Vectors Problem (SIVP) for random module lattices. We use here a natural notion of randomness as defined originally by Siegel through Haar measures. By proving a reduction, we show it is essentially as hard as the problem for arbitrary instances. While this was[…] -
Endomorphisms via Splittings
Orateur : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation
One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]-
