The project aims to develop better algorithms for elliptic curve cryptography with prospect of the two challenges ahead: - securing the internet of things - preparing towards quantum computers.
Elliptic curves are currently the fastest public-key cryptosystem (with a key size that can fit on embeded devices) while still through a different mode of operation beeing (possibly) able to resist quantum based computers.
This was the last year of the Fast projet, which was represented at the Journees du Lirimia in Yaounde by Emmanuel Fouotsa.
In total the project funded one EMA and two CIMPA schools, had 14 publications in journals and conferences (with three upcoming preprints), two PhD defense with two upcoming.
