Sumario:In this thesis, we present some public-key cryptographic schemes. This work is divided in two halves. The rst half deals with zero-knowledge proofs in the classical setting and under falsi able assumptions. In particular, we improve upon the e ciency of an argument for linear equations, and we present a proof of correct computation of a circuit that is of size logarithmic in the depth of the circuit. In the second half, we introduce a signature scheme, an encryption scheme and a trapdoor DDH scheme based on isogenies of supersingular elliptic curves. The signature and encryption schemes are secure against quantum adversaries.
