Computing class polynomials with the Chinese Remainder Theorem
Class polynomials play a key role in the CM-method for constructing elliptic curves with known order. This has many applications to cryptography and is the primary means of obtaining pairing-friendly curves. The CM-method is unfortunately…
Special vs Random Curves: Could the Conventional Wisdom Be Wrong?
The conventional wisdom in cryptography is that for greatest security one should choose parameters as randomly as possible. In particular, in elliptic and hyperelliptic curve cryptography this means making random choices of the coefficients of…
Automated Whitebox Fuzz Testing
A Cryptographic Compiler for Information-Flow Security
Joint work with Tamara Rezk and Gurvan le Guernic (MSR-INRIA Joint Centre http://msr-inria.inria.fr/projects/sec) We relate two notions of security: one simple and abstract, based on information flows in programs, the other more concrete, based on…
