Cryptography and Coding Theory at LIX

Luca De Feo successfully defended his PhD thesis, Fast algorithms for towers of finite fields and isogenies, on 13/12/2010. He is now working as a postdoctoral researcher at Rennes.

François Morain was a guest on the discussion panel for the film Cosmic Code Breakers: the Secrets of Prime Numbers at the 2010 Pariscience film festival.

Jean-François Biasse defended his PhD thesis, "Algorithmes sous-exponentiels pour les corps de nombres" on 20/09/2010. He is currently working with the MAGMA group in Sydney.

François Morain was an invited speaker at the 25th anniversary Workshop on Elliptic Curves and Computation.

A video of his talk is available for download here.

The Cryptography and Coding Theory research group at LIX is based around the INRIA Équipe-Projet TANC: Théorie Algebrique de Nombres pour la Cryptologie.

We approach problems in modern Public-Key Cryptography and Coding Theory from the point of view of Algorithmic Arithmetic and Algebraic Geometry, combining sophisticated mathematics with powerful algorithms.
