Abstract
We present a new algebraic modeling of the Supersingular Isogeny Problem as a system of multivariate polynomial equations, in the case where the elliptic curves are connected by an isogeny whose degree is a power of or . This modeling relies on Renes formulas for elliptic curves in Montgomery form (degree ) or triangular form (degree ). We investigate several algebraic properties of these systems: we prove that they are zero-dimensional, compute the dimension of their highest degree part, and show that they are not in generic coordinates. Experimental results show that solving these systems via Gr\"obner basis techniques is significantly faster than solving the algebraic modeling with modular polynomials.
