Principal
themes and objectives
The discrete logarithm problem for finite fields, elliptic curves and
algebraic curves of higher genus over finite fields is one of the most
challenging open questions in mathematical cryptology. Various
theoretical aspects of the problem have been extensively studied in the
past decade. These include Weil descent attacks, index calculus attacks
using Semaev polynomials via systems of polynomial equations,
subexponential attacks for curves over binary extensions, and random
self-reducibility of the discrete logarithm problem in an isogeny
class. Very recently, quasi-polynomial time algorithms have been
announced for certain finite fields. On a practical level, new records
have been set via parallel versions of the Pollard rho algorithm using
extra endomorphisms (such as hyperelliptic involutions or Frobenius
endomorphisms) to speed up the
implementation. The goal of the conference is to bridge the theoretical
and practical aspects of the problem
allowing for better collaboration between different research
communities that work on this
problem. |
