Counting Co-Cyclic Lattices
There is a well-known asymptotic formula, due to W. M. Schmidt (1968) for the
number of full-rank integer lattices of index at most in .
This set of lattices can naturally be partitioned with respect to the
factor group . Accordingly, we count the number of full-rank
integer lattices such that is
cyclic and of order at most , and deduce that these co-cyclic lattices are
dominant among all integer lattices: their natural density is . The problem is motivated by
complexity theory, namely worst-case to average-case reductions for lattice
problems
Tensor-based trapdoors for CVP and their application to public key cryptography
We propose two trapdoors for the Closest-Vector-Problem in lattices (CVP) related to the lattice tensor product. Using these trapdoors we set up a lattice-based cryptosystem which resembles to the McEliece scheme
Isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varieties
Fix a prime number . Graphs of isogenies of degree a power of
are well-understood for elliptic curves, but not for higher-dimensional abelian
varieties. We study the case of absolutely simple ordinary abelian varieties
over a finite field. We analyse graphs of so-called -isogenies,
resolving that they are (almost) volcanoes in any dimension. Specializing to
the case of principally polarizable abelian surfaces, we then exploit this
structure to describe graphs of a particular class of isogenies known as
-isogenies: those whose kernels are maximal isotropic subgroups
of the -torsion for the Weil pairing. We use these two results to write
an algorithm giving a path of computable isogenies from an arbitrary absolutely
simple ordinary abelian surface towards one with maximal endomorphism ring,
which has immediate consequences for the CM-method in genus 2, for computing
explicit isogenies, and for the random self-reducibility of the discrete
logarithm problem in genus 2 cryptography.Comment: 36 pages, 4 figure
Interleaving schemes for multidimensional cluster errors
We present two-dimensional and three-dimensional interleaving techniques for correcting two- and three-dimensional bursts (or clusters) of errors, where a cluster of errors is characterized by its area or volume. Correction of multidimensional error clusters is required in holographic storage, an emerging application of considerable importance. Our main contribution is the construction of efficient two-dimensional and three-dimensional interleaving schemes. The proposed schemes are based on t-interleaved arrays of integers, defined by the property that every connected component of area or volume t consists of distinct integers. In the two-dimensional case, our constructions are optimal: they have the lowest possible interleaving degree. That is, the resulting t-interleaved arrays contain the smallest possible number of distinct integers, hence minimizing the number of codewords required in an interleaving scheme. In general, we observe that the interleaving problem can be interpreted as a graph-coloring problem, and introduce the useful special class of lattice interleavers. We employ a result of Minkowski, dating back to 1904, to establish both upper and lower bounds on the interleaving degree of lattice interleavers in three dimensions. For the case tâĄ0 mod 6, the upper and lower bounds coincide, and the Minkowski lattice directly yields an optimal lattice interleaver. For tâ 0 mod 6, we construct efficient lattice interleavers using approximations of the Minkowski lattice
