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.

Lightweight (AND, XOR) Implementations of Large-Degree S-boxes
Orateur : Marie Bolzer - LORIA
The problem of finding a minimal circuit to implement a given function is one of the oldest in electronics. In cryptography, the focus is on small functions, especially on S-boxes which are classically the only non-linear functions in iterated block ciphers. In this work, we propose new ad-hoc automatic tools to look for lightweight implementations of non-linear functions on up to 5 variables for[…]-

Algorithms for post-quantum commutative group actions
Orateur : Marc Houben - Inria Bordeaux
At the historical foundation of isogeny-based cryptography lies a scheme known as CRS; a key exchange protocol based on class group actions on elliptic curves. Along with more efficient variants, such as CSIDH, this framework has emerged as a powerful building block for the construction of advanced post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, all protocols in this line of work are[…] -
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[…]-
