What is meant by a meet-in-the-middle approach?
I'm studing C. Petit's work "Faster algorithms for isogeny problems using torsion point images" (link) and he talks about meet-in-the-middle approach/strategy for solve some isogenies ...

Deduce kernel of isogeny from action on torsion points
I'm stuck with the following problem:
In Petit's work "Faster Algorithms for Isogeny Problems using Torsion Point Images", p. 8, he says that we can deduce $\ker \psi_{N_2}$ knowing the ...

On roots of irreducible quadratics modulo composites
Assume factorization of $N$ is unknown. What is the best complexity we know to find roots of the irreducible equation $$ax^2+bx+c\equiv0\bmod N?$$
Is this problem equivalent to any hardness results?

Subexponential algorithms that apply only one of factoring and discrete logarithm?
Shor (quantum polynomial), Number Field Sieve (subexponential), Pollard rho (square root) all have both factoring and discrete logarithm over $\mathbb F_p^*$ variants.
What are the subexponential ...

Is total degree version and $x,y$ degree version of Coppersmith's theorem correct?
The notes here https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~cpeikert/lic13/lec04.pdf have the note 'Small decryption exponent $d$: so far the best known attack recovers $d$ if it is less than $N^{.292}$. This uses a ...

How to compute the Müller modular polynomials?
According to R.A.Kazmi's dissertation "Isogenies and Cryptography" (Page 22), given an isogeny degree $l$, the Müller modular polynomials are defined as
$$G_l(x,y)=\sum_{r=0}^{l+1}\sum_{k=0}^{v}a_{...

Equivalence between Diffie Hellman and Discrete Log
For which non-trivial groups, do we know that the Diffie Hellman problem and the Discrete Log are equivalent?
Is there any group for which we suspect them to be different?
Could there be a finite ...
