Elliptic Loops
Massimiliano Sala, Daniele Taufer
Given a local ring and an elliptic curve , we define elliptic loops as the points of projecting to under the canonical m…
An algebraic attack on stream ciphers with application to nonlinear filter generators and WG-PRNG
Carla Mascia, Enrico Piccione, Massimiliano Sala
In this paper, we propose a new algebraic attack on stream ciphers. Starting from the well-known attack due to Courtois and Meier, we design an attack especially effective against…
On the equivalence of two post-quantum cryptographic families
Alessio Meneghetti, Alex Pellegrini, Massimiliano Sala
The Maximum Likelihood Decoding Problem (MLD) is known to be NP-hard and its complexity is strictly related to the security of some post-quantum cryptosystems, that is, the so-call…
A survey on Functional Encryption
Carla Mascia, Massimiliano Sala, Irene Villa
Functional Encryption (FE) expands traditional public-key encryption in two different ways: it supports fine-grained access control and allows learning a function of the encrypted…
Rational points on cubic surfaces and AG codes from the Norm-Trace curve
Matteo Bonini, Massimiliano Sala, Lara Vicino
In this paper we give a complete characterization of the intersections between the Norm-Trace curve over and the curves of the form , generaliz…
The group structure of elliptic curves over Z/NZ
Massimiliano Sala, Daniele Taufer
We characterize the possible groups arising from elliptic curves over in terms of the groups , with varyin…
