Rational Points on Genus 3 Real Hyperelliptic Curves

We compute rational points on real hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 defined on whose Jacobian have Mordell-Weil rank r=0. We present an implementation in sagemath of an algorithm which describes the birational transformation of real hyperelliptic curves into imaginary hyperelliptic curves and the Chabauty-Coleman method to find C (). We run the algorithms in Sage on 47 real hyperelliptic curves of genus 3.

Verifiable delay functions and delay encryptions from hyperelliptic curves

Verifiable delay functions(VDFs)and delay encryptions(DEs)are two important primitives in decentralized systems,while existing constructions are mainly based on time-lock puzzles.A disparate framework has been established by applying isogenies and pairings on elliptic curves.Following this line,we first employ Richelot isogenies and non-degenerate pairings from hyperelliptic curves for a new verifiable delay function,such that no auxiliary proof and interaction are needed for the verification.Then,we demonstrate that our scheme satisfies all security requirements,in particular,our VDF can resist several attacks,including the latest attacks for SIDH.Besides,resorting to the same techniques,a secure delay encryption from hyperelliptic curves is constructed by modifying Boneh and Frankiln's IBE scheme,which shares the identical setup with our VDF scheme.As far as we know,these schemes are the first cryptographic applications from high-genus isogenies apart from basic protocols,i.e.,hash functions and key exchange protocols.

Counting Isomorphism Classes of Pointed Hyperelliptic Curves of Genus 4 over Finite Fields with Even Characteristic

This paper is devoted to counting the number of isomorphism classes of pointed hyperelliptic curves over finite fields. We deal with the genus 4 case and the finite fields are of even characteristics. The number of isomorphism classes is computed and the explicit formulae are given. This number can be represented as a polynomial in q of degree 7, where q is the order of the finite field. The result can be used in the classification problems and it is useful for further studies of hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems, e.g. it is of interest for research on implementing the arithmetics of curves of low genus for cryptographic purposes. It could also be of interest for point counting problems; both on moduli spaces of curves, and on finding the maximal number of points that a pointed hyperelliptic curve over a given finite field may have.

Securing the Internet of Health Things with Certificateless Anonymous Authentication Scheme

Internet of Health Things(IoHT)is a subset of Internet of Things(IoT)technology that includes interconnected medical devices and sensors used in medical and healthcare information systems.However,IoHT is susceptible to cybersecurity threats due to its reliance on low-power biomedical devices and the use of open wireless channels for communication.In this article,we intend to address this shortcoming,and as a result,we propose a new scheme called,the certificateless anonymous authentication(CAA)scheme.The proposed scheme is based on hyperelliptic curve cryptography(HECC),an enhanced variant of elliptic curve cryptography(ECC)that employs a smaller key size of 80 bits as compared to 160 bits.The proposed scheme is secure against various attacks in both formal and informal security analyses.The formal study makes use of the Real-or-Random(ROR)model.A thorough comparative study of the proposed scheme is conducted for the security and efficiency of the proposed scheme with the relevant existing schemes.The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme not only ensures high security for health-related data but also increases efficiency.The proposed scheme’s computation cost is 2.88 ms,and the communication cost is 1440 bits,which shows its better efficiency compared to its counterpart schemes.

Fault Attacks on Hyperelliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem over Finite Fields

In this paper, we present two explicit invalid-curve attacks on the genus 2 hyperelliptic curve over a finite field. First, we propose two explicit attack models by injecting a one-bit fault in a given divisor. Then, we discuss the construction of an invalid curve based on the faulted divisor. Our attacks are based on the fact that the Hyperelliptic Curve Scalar Multiplication (HECSM) algorithm does not utilize the curve parameters and We consider three hyperelliptic curves as the attack targets. For curve with security level 186 (in bits), our attack method can get the weakest invalid curve with security level 42 (in bits); there are 93 invalid curves with security level less than 50. We also estimate the theoretical probability of getting a weak hyperelliptic curve whose cardinality is a smooth integer. Finally, we show that the complexity of the fault attack is subexponential if the attacker can freely inject a fault in the input divisor. Cryptosystems based on the genus 2 hyperelliptic curves cannot work against our attack algorithm in practice.

Hyper Elliptic Curve Based Certificateless Signcryption Scheme for Secure IIoT Communications

Industrial internet of things (IIoT) is the usage of internet of things(IoT) devices and applications for the purpose of sensing, processing andcommunicating real-time events in the industrial system to reduce the unnecessary operational cost and enhance manufacturing and other industrial-relatedprocesses to attain more profits. However, such IoT based smart industriesneed internet connectivity and interoperability which makes them susceptibleto numerous cyber-attacks due to the scarcity of computational resourcesof IoT devices and communication over insecure wireless channels. Therefore, this necessitates the design of an efficient security mechanism for IIoTenvironment. In this paper, we propose a hyperelliptic curve cryptography(HECC) based IIoT Certificateless Signcryption (IIoT-CS) scheme, with theaim of improving security while lowering computational and communicationoverhead in IIoT environment. HECC with 80-bit smaller key and parameterssizes offers similar security as elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) with 160-bitlong key and parameters sizes. We assessed the IIoT-CS scheme security byapplying formal and informal security evaluation techniques. We used Realor Random (RoR) model and the widely used automated validation of internet security protocols and applications (AVISPA) simulation tool for formalsecurity analysis and proved that the IIoT-CS scheme provides resistance tovarious attacks. Our proposed IIoT-CS scheme is relatively less expensivecompared to the current state-of-the-art in terms of computational cost andcommunication overhead. Furthermore, the IIoT-CS scheme is 31.25% and 51.31% more efficient in computational cost and communication overhead,respectively, compared to the most recent protocol.

This article discusses divisor evaluations, the basic HECDSA, variants, two HECDSA equations and a 4-tuple HECDSA scheme, and puts forward a generalized equation for HECDSA. From this generalized equation, seven general HECDSA types are derived based on the efficiency requirements. Meanwhile, the securities of these general HECDSA types are analyzed in detail.
