Computational Algebra Seminar: Donnelly -- Recent techniques for the discrete log problem in finite fields, part 2

Speaker: Steve Donnelly (Sydney) 
Title: Recent techniques for the discrete log problem in finite fields, part 2
Time & Place: 3-4pm, Thursday 11 April, Carslaw 535 
Abstract: 
I’ll describe techniques used in the two new records that were announced in February.
Joux computed discrete logs in GF(2^1778) and GF(2^4080), and 
Gogoglu-Granger-McGuire-Zumbragel (Dublin) in GF(2^1971).
