Abstract

We develop an efficient algorithm to detect whether a superspecial genus 2 Jacobian is optimally $(N, N)$-split for each integer $N \leq 11$. Incorporating this algorithm into the best-known attack against the superspecial isogeny problem in dimension 2 gives rise to significant cryptanalytic improvements. Our implementation shows that when the underlying prime $p$ is 100 bits, the attack is sped up by a factor $25{\tt x}$; when the underlying prime is 200 bits, the attack is sped up by a factor $42{\tt x}$; and, when the underlying prime is 1000 bits, the attack is sped up by a factor $160{\tt x}$.
