Title:
Index Calculus in Class Groups of Plane Curves of Small Degree
Authors: Claus Diem
Abstract:We present a novel index calculus algorithm for the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in degree 0 class groups of curves over finite fields. A heuristic analysis of our algorithm indicates that asymptotically for varying q, ``essentially all’’ instances of the DLP in degree 0 class groups of curves represented by plane models of a fixed degree d over \mathbb{F}_q can be solved in an expected time of \tilde{O}(q^{2 -2/(d-2)}).
A particular application is that heuristically, ``essentially all’’ instances of the DLP in degree 0 class groups of non-hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 (represented by plane curves of degree 4) can be solved in an expected time of \tilde{O}(q).
We also provide a method to represent sufficiently general'' (non-hyperelliptic) curves of genus $g \geq 3$ by plane models of degree $g+1$. We conclude that on heuristic grounds the DLP in degree 0 class groups of sufficiently general’’ curves of genus g \geq 3 (represented initially by plane models of bounded degree) can be solved in an expected time of \tilde{O}(q^{2 -2/(g-1)}).
