    An Algebraic Point of View on the Generation of Pairing-Friendly Elliptic Curves
    In 2010, Freeman, Scott, and Teske published a well-known taxonomy compiling the
    best known families of pairing-friendly elliptic curves. Since then, the
    research effort mostly shifted from the generation of pairing-friendly curves to
    the improvement of algorithms or the assessment of security parameters to resist
    the latest attacks on the discrete logarithm problem. Consequently, very few new
    families were discovered. However, the need of pairing-friendly curves of prime
    order in some new applications such as SNARKs has reignited the interest in the
    generation of pairing-friendly curves, with hope of finding families similar to
    the one discovered by Barreto and Naehrig.
    Building on the work of Kachisa, Schaefer, and Scott, we show that some elements
    of extensions of a cyclotomic field have a higher probability of generating a
    family of pairing-friendly curves. We present a general framework which embraces
    the KSS families and many of the other families in the taxonomy paper. We finally
    introduce a new family with embedding degree k=20 which we estimate to provide
    a faster Miller loop compared to KSS16 and KSS18 at the 192-bit security level.

    A Renormalisation Decoder for Kitaev's Toric Quantum Code
    Kitaev's toric code is expected to be at the core of the first generation of quantum computers that will incorporate error protection. To make full use of the toric code, one requires an efficient decoding scheme that will process the classical information obtained from quantum syndrome measurements, so as to be able to regularly put arrays of qubits back into their intended states. The renormalisation decoders introduced by Duclos-Cianci and Poulin exhibit one of the best trade-offs between efficiency and speed. One feature that remained a mystery however, is their behaviour over adversarial channels, i.e. their worst-case behaviour. In this talk, we introduce a relatively natural and deterministic version of a renormalisation decoder and bound its error-correcting radius.
