CrypTO Conference

28 May 2025

A researcher from the QuSAC lab (Marzio Mula) attended the CrypTO Conference in Turin, held on May 22–23, 2025.
He presented the talk “Representing isogenies via (classical, canonical, Atkin...) modular polynomials”, based on joint work with the QuSAC group, Marc Huben, and Sören Kleine.
The presentation explored different approaches to encode isogenies using modular polynomials, highlighting both theoretical aspects and cryptographic relevance.

The conference was also an important opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with other researchers in cryptography and computational number theory.
More information about the event is available on the official website .

The paper "More Efficient Isogeny Proofs of Knowledge via Canonical Modular Polynomials" by the QuSAC group and CODE colleague Sören Kleine has been accepted for publication at the CRYPTO 2025 conference, which will take place in Santa Barbara, USA on August 17-21, 2025.

SQIparty2025 in Lleida

Last week Sebastian Spindler attended the SQIparty2025, a workshop on isogeny-based cryptography that was held in Lleida, Spain on April 28-30, 2025. Between many interesting talks on SQIsign, higher-dimensional techniques as well as related topics and the more interactive skillshare sessions, the workshop provided the perfect opportunity to learn about and discuss current developments in isogeny-based cryptography, even in the face of the countrywide power outage in Spain.

ZKProof 7 and RWC in Sofia

A researcher from QuSAC (Thomas den Hollander) recently travelled to Sofia to attend ZKProof 7, the leading initiative focusing on the development and standardization of zero-knowledge proofs. There he presented research by the QuSAC group and met other researchers in the area of proof systems and zero-knowledge.

Young Researcher Crypto Seminar

From the 3rd to the 5th of March, Sebastian Spindler and Thomas den Hollander visited the Young Researcher Crypto Seminar (YRCS) in Konstanz. There they both presented recent QuSAC research on proving knowledge of isogenies. They also used the opportunity to meet fellow early career researchers and discuss new developments in cryptology.
