# Introduction to Isogeny Cryptography

Making this section as a motivation to make sure this is part of the book. Something to work towards.

## Page Plan

* Describe that there is a drive towards post-quantum algorithms
* The incredible fact that paths within isogeny graphs commute (with the help of torsion points)
* Supersingular $$\ell$$ isogeny graphs are $$(\ell + 1)$$regular Ramanujan graphs
* Using paths through these graphs has spawned a whole bunch of protocols
  * SIKE / BIKE / ...
  * Hashes
  * ...
* First we will look at the fundementals that allow these protocols to be expected as good candidates for post-quantum
* Then we look at these protocols in more detail. Hopefully with SageMath implementations for each

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://cryptohack.gitbook.io/cryptobook/isogeny-based-cryptography/introduction-to-isogeny-cryptography.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
