Avoiding Trusted Setup in Isogeny-based Commitments

In 2021, Sterner proposed a commitment scheme based on supersingular isogenies. For this scheme to be binding, one relies on a trusted party to generate a starting supersingular elliptic curve of unknown endomorphism ring. In fact, the knowledge of the end ...

SILBE: An Updatable Public Key Encryption Scheme from Lollipop Attacks

Serge Vaudenay, Tako Boris Fouotsa

We present a new post-quantum Public Key Encryption scheme (PKE) named Supersingular Isogeny Lollipop Based Encryption or SILBE. SILBE is obtained by leveraging the generalized lollipop attack of Castryck and Vercauteren on the M-SIDH Key exchange by Fouot ...

Exploring SIDH-Based Signature Parameters

Tako Boris Fouotsa, Laurane Chloé Angélina Marco, Andrea Basso

Isogeny-based cryptography is an instance of post-quantum cryptography whose fundamental problem consists of finding an isogeny between two (isogenous) elliptic curves E and E′. This problem is closely related to that of computing the endomorphism ring of ...

Isogeny Problems with Level Structure

Tako Boris Fouotsa

Given two elliptic curves and the degree of an isogeny between them, finding the isogeny is believed to be a difficult problem—upon which rests the security of nearly any isogeny-based scheme. If, however, to the data above we add information about the beh ...

Failing to Hash Into Supersingular Isogeny Graphs

Tako Boris Fouotsa

An important open problem in supersingular isogeny-based cryptography is to produce, without a trusted authority, concrete examples of 'hard supersingular curves' that is equations for supersingular curves for which computing the endomorphism ring is as di ...

SCALLOP: Scaling the CSI-FiSh

Tako Boris Fouotsa

We present SCALLOP: SCALable isogeny action based on Oriented supersingular curves with Prime conductor, a new group action based on isogenies of supersingular curves. Similarly to CSIDH and OSIDH, we use the group action of an imaginary quadratic order’s ...

New SIDH Countermeasures for a More Efficient Key Exchange

Tako Boris Fouotsa, Andrea Basso

The Supersingular Isogeny Diffie-Hellman (SIDH) protocol has been the main and most efficient isogeny-based encryption protocol, until a series of breakthroughs led to a polynomial-time key-recovery attack. While some countermeasures have been proposed, th ...

Supersingular Curves You Can Trust

Tako Boris Fouotsa, Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski, Giulio Codogni

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 ...
