Isogenies of Abelian Varieties & Applications to Post-Quantum Cryptography

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 16 to 20 November 2026.

This workshop is dedicated to the emerging role of higher-dimensional abelian varieties in post-quantum cryptography. Bringing together experts in arithmetic geometry and cryptography, it will showcase state-of-the-art research, explore open challenges, and foster new collaborations at the interface of mathematics and cryptographic design. Particular emphasis will be placed on recent advances that have made isogeny-based cryptography increasingly competitive, as well as on the development of community software support for higher-dimensional isogenies in Python and SageMath.
