Algebraic groups at the heart of post-quantum cryptography

Contemporary public-key cryptography builds its foundations on a handful of computational problems rooted in arithmetic and geometry. The vast majority of deployed cryptosystems rely on two classical problems (computing discrete logarithms, and factoring integers) that would not resist a large-scale quantum computer. Research on quantum technology is accelerating, endangering the world's information systems. New foundations are being proposed by the cryptologic community, promising post-quantum security, but suffering in many aspects from the lack of adequate scrutiny. Emerging post-quantum candidates can be naturally embedded into rich and modern mathematical theories. It is the case of…
