Emmanuel Thomé

I am an INRIA senior research scientist (DR2) at INRIA Nancy (Loria). I am the team leader for the team CARAMBA.

I have a separate page with News.

Research interests

• The number field sieve and its cousins, notably for computing discrete logarithms over finite fields; relevant papers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18,
  See also some software: cado-nfs, as well as an example sage worksheet for NFS.
• Sparse linear algebra over finite fields and the block Wiedemann algorithm; relevant papers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
  See also some software: cado-nfs.
• Curve-based cryptography, and general computation related to small genus algebraic curves over finite fields; relevant papers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
  See also some software: cmh.
• Computer arithmetic in general, in particular finite field and polynomial arithmetic; relevant papers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  See also some software: gf2x, mpfq, mploc.

Grants

• I am the scientific leader (coordinator) of the ANR Catrel project, focusing on discrete logarithms over finite fields. (ANR Blanc project, 2013–2016).
• I was the local correspondent of the ANR Chic project, focusing on hyperelliptic curves, isogenies, and point counting problems (scientific leader/coordinator: David Lubicz, IRMAR, Rennes). (ANR Blanc project, 2009–2012).
• I was a member of the ANR Cado project, focusing on the Number field sieve algorithm (scientific leader/coordinator: Pierrick Gaudry, LORIA). This project was the original source of funding that led to the cado-nfs software.
