The supersingular endomorphism ring problem given one endomorphism

Given a supersingular elliptic curve E and a non-scalar endomorphism α of E, we prove that the endomorphism ring of E can be computed in classical time about disc(Z[α])^1/4, and in quantum subexponential time, assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis. Previous results either had higher complexities, or relied on heuristic assumptions. Along the way, we describe and analyse a general algorithm to divide isogenies in polynomial time, and to solve the Primitivisation problem in polynomial time. Following the attacks on SIDH, isogenies in high dimension are a central ingredient of our results.

Abstract

Given a supersingular elliptic curve E and a non-scalar endomorphism α of E, we prove that the endomorphism ring of E can be computed in classical time about disc(Z[α])^1/4, and in quantum subexponential time, assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis. Previous results either had higher complexities, or relied on heuristic assumptions. Along the way, we describe and analyse a general algorithm to divide isogenies in polynomial time, and to solve the Primitivisation problem in polynomial time. Following the attacks on SIDH, isogenies in high dimension are a central ingredient of our results.
