Supersingular Curves You Can Trust

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski, Giulio Codogni, Tako Boris Fouotsa

Generating a supersingular elliptic curve such that nobody knows its endomorphism ring is a notoriously hard task, despite several isogeny-based protocols relying on such an object. A trusted setup is often proposed as a workaround, but several aspects rem ...

Computation Of A 30750-Bit Binary Field Discrete Logarithm

Arjen Lenstra, Thorsten Kleinjung, Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski, Robert Granger

This paper reports on the computation of a discrete logarithm in the finite field F-230750, breaking by a large margin the previous record, which was set in January 2014 by a computation in F-29234. The present computation made essential use of the elimina ...

Efficient Verifiable Delay Functions

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski

We construct a verifiable delay function (VDF). A VDF is a function whose evaluation requires running a given number of sequential steps, yet the result can be efficiently verified. They have applications in decentralised systems, such as the generation of ...

Arithmetic and geometric structures in cryptography

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski

We explore a few algebraic and geometric structures, through certain questions posed by modern cryptography. We focus on the cases of discrete logarithms in finite fields of small characteristic, the structure of isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varietie ...

Isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varieties

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski, Dimitar Petkov Jetchev, Ernest Hunter Brooks

Fix a prime number l. Graphs of isogenies of degree a power of l are well-understood for elliptic curves, but not for higher-dimensional abelian varieties. We study the case of absolutely simple ordinary abelian varieties over a finite field. We analyse gr ...

Short Stickelberger Class Relations and Application to Ideal-SVP

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski

The worst-case hardness of finding short vectors in ideals of cyclotomic number fields (Ideal-SVP) is a central matter in lattice based cryptography. Assuming the worst-case hardness of Ideal-SVP allows to prove the Ring-LWE and Ring-SIS assumptions, and t ...
