Joux's Recent Index Calculus Improvements

These are presentation materials associated with the UCI Cryptography Seminars that I presented in May and June 2013.

A copy of my slide set:

My 2013-May-14 presentation (revision 1.2). This covers "classical" methods, up to the basic index calculus methods.
My 2013-June-4 presentation (revision 1.0). This covers the Number Field Sieve, the Function Field Sieve, and two recent developments due to Joux.
