ANTICS

• Title: Algorithmic Number Theory in Cryptology

• Type: IDEAS

• Instrument: ERC Starting Grant

• Duration: January 2012 - December 2016

• Coordinator: Inria (France)

• Abstract: Data security and privacy protection are major challenges in the digital world. Cryptology contributes to solutions, and one of the goals of ANTICS is to develop the next generation public key cryptosystem, based on algebraic curves and abelian varieties. Challenges to be tackled are the complexity of computations, certification of the computed results and parallelisation, addressed by introducing more informatics into algorithmic number theory.
