Research group COSIC, KU Leuven

Research areas: Computational aspects of algebraic geometry and number theory, with a focus on cryptographic applications (isogeny-based cryptography, multivariate cryptography, lattice-based cryptography).

Title:
Isogeny-based cryptography: an overview of the current landscape.

Abstract:
Isogeny-based cryptography is an elliptic-curve-based branch of public-key cryptography that, unlike classical ECC, is believed to offer security against quantum adversaries. It was developed almost completely during the past 15 years, so it concerns a young branch, but it seems to offer features that other approaches to post-quantum cryptography do not. In this talk, we will discuss the current state of this rapidly evolving field: why do we believe in its security, what cryptographic constructions does it allow, and what are the unique selling points of these constructions?
