Project-Team Presentation

LORIA joint project-team with INRIA, CNRS, University Henri Poincaré, University Nancy 2 and INPL

The CARAMEL project-team has three main research themes:

• The number field sieve algorithm and its siblings, for integer factorization and discrete logarithm in finite fields,
• Algebraic curves for cryptography, in particular genus 2 curves and pairings,
• Arithmetic in general, from integers to floating-point numbers, in software and hardware.

Consult the founding document for more details.

Grants

The Caramel project-team has been involved in the following ANR grants:

• ANR CADO (2007-2010): Number field sieve: distribution, optimization.
• ANR CHIC (2009-2012): Hyperelliptic Curves Isogenies, point Counting.
• ANR CATREL (2013-2016): Sieve Algorithms: Theoretical Advances, and Effective Resolution of the Discrete Logarithm Problem.
