Jana Sotáková
I am working on:
- post-quantum cryptography, especially isogeny-based cryptography,
- computational number theory,
- quantum algorithms used for cryptanalysis.
News
- (3/10) I will be at the Isogeny-based cryptography summer school in Bristol, June 22-26 2020.
- (3/10)
I will be giving a talk about my work in the afternoon QSC session of the
Dutch Mathematical Congress (NMC). Links to the abstract and for the conference schedule.Unfortunately, the NMC has been cancelled but might still happen at a different date. - (2/14) Breaking DDH with genus theory with Wouter Castryck and Fre Vercauteren is out! The eprint article is
here.
For a cool explanation see this blogpost by Steven Galbraith or Luca de Feo's take on Twitter!
- (1/20) I will be a TA for the course on Supersingular Isogeny Graphs by Kristin Lauter during the Park City Mathematical Institute 2020 in July 2020.
- I was a visiting graduate student at the The Quantum Wave in Computing
semester program at the Simons Center from Jan 20 to Feb 7, 2020.
