Elliptic curves play a very important role in modern mathematics with applications ranging from the very theoretical to the very computational. For example, they are the backbone of Wiles proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem and of one of the most widely used cryptosystem.
More recently, isogenies of elliptic curves and abelian varieties gained attention as well.
They are used in different cryptographic schemes that are proposed in the context of post-quantum cryptography.
To make these schemes efficient, and to evaluate their security, it is important to understand the underlying mathematics.
Our workshop will gather experts working on the computational tools involving elliptic curves, abelian varieties and isogenies, as well as experts working on the cryptographic applications.
