Title:
Isogenies and the Discrete Logarithm Problem on Jacobians of Genus 3 Hyperelliptic Curves

Authors: Benjamin Smith

Abstract:

We describe the use of explicit isogenies to reduce Discrete Logarithm Problems (DLPs) on Jacobians of hyperelliptic genus~3 curves to Jacobians of non-hyperelliptic genus~3 curves, which are vulnerable to faster index calculus attacks. We provide algorithms which compute an isogeny with kernel isomorphic to (\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^3 for any hyperelliptic genus~3 curve. These algorithms provide a rational isogeny for a positive fraction of all hyperelliptic genus~3 curves defined over a finite field of characteristic p > 3. Subject to reasonable assumptions, our algorithms provide an explicit and efficient reduction from hyperelliptic DLPs to non-hyperelliptic DLPs for around 18.57\% of all hyperelliptic genus~3 curves over a given finite field.
