CSIDH: An Efficient Post-Quantum Commutative Group Action
Wouter Castryck and Tanja Lange and Chloe Martindale and Lorenz Panny and Joost Renes
Abstract
We propose an efficient commutative group action suitable for non-interactive key exchange in a post-quantum setting. Our construction follows the layout of the Couveignes-Rostovtsev-Stolbunov cryptosystem, but we apply it to supersingular elliptic curves defined over a large prime field $\mathbb F_p$, rather than to ordinary elliptic curves. The Diffie-Hellman scheme resulting from the group action allows for public-key validation at very little cost, runs reasonably fast in practice, and has public keys of only 64 bytes at a conjectured AES-128 security level, matching NIST's post-quantum security category I.
