Post-quantum commutative group actions from oriented superspecial abelian varieties

Source abstract
We study the cryptographic use of Shimura class group actions on superspecial principally polarized abelian varieties equipped with a CM orientation, within the context of post-quantum cryptography. Besides giving an accessible introduction to the topic, illustrated with many examples, we provide tools for representing CM orientations through higher-dimensional isogenies and for computing the Shimura class group action in the restricted effective group action model. Here, key auxiliary results are a version of Kani's lemma "with CM" and a trick that often allows to halve the ambient dimension. We also give a method for finding superspecial principally polarized abelian surfaces that are oriented by a given CM order, which is extracted from an algebraic framework for studying CM orientations using the Ibukiyama-Katsura-Oort correspondence. We also analyze obstructions to transitivity of the Shimura class group action, related to the characteristic-zero notion of CM type.
