Should I trust or should I go? A deep dive into the (not so reliable) web PKI trust model
- December 19, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)
- Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Room Markov
Speaker : Romain Laborde - University of Toulouse

The padlock shown in the URL bar of our favorite web browser indicates that we are connected using a secure HTTPS connection and providing some sense of security. Unfortunately, the reality is slightly more complex. The trust model of the underlying Web PKI is invalid, making TLS a colossus with feet of clay. In this talk, we will dive into the trust model of the web PKI ecosystem to understand[…]

Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction
- December 19, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)
- Batiment 22-23 salle 16 (en face de l'amphi Lebesgue)
Speaker : Paola de Perthuis - CWI

Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as `Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens[…]

ML-Based Hardware Trojan Detection in AI Accelerators via Power Side-Channel Analysis
- January 16, 2026 (11:00 - 12:00)
- Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Espace de conférences
Speaker : Yehya NASSER - IMT Atlantique

Our work discusses the security risks associated with outsourcing AI accelerator design due to the threat of hardware Trojans (HTs), a problem traditional testing methods fail to address. We introduce a novel solution based on Power Side-Channel Analysis (PSCA), where we collect and preprocess power traces by segmenting them and extracting features from both time and frequency domains. This[…]

Focus

Conference on Informational Influence Warfare

Informational Influence Warfare (L2I) encompasses the entire range of techniques used to detect and counter adversary information maneuvers in cyberspace. It is based on a national doctrine that takes into account regulatory, ethical, and geopolitical considerations, as well as a vast technical corpus that includes automatic language processing, large-scale data mining, analysis of collective dynamics on social networks, and more traditional cybersecurity techniques such as protection and attack methods for information systems.

The DGA's Maitrise de l'Information technical center is the MinArm's technical expert in cybersecurity and, as such, has developed expertise in the field of L2I. In collaboration with the Defense Innovation Agency, we wish to share our main technical concerns, challenges, and use cases with the academic research community in order to facilitate the implementation of collaborative projects that we will fund through our research support mechanisms, particularly Creach Labs.

The objective of this conference is to bring together all teams within the scope of CREACH LABS as well as MinArm experts working on L2I to take a cross-look at the main research challenges and facilitate the implementation of collaborative projects, allow PhD students and post-docs to present their project progress, and provide teams with a comprehensive view of ongoing work and strategic directions to take.

« Energy backdoor attack to deep neural networks »

The transition to deep learning has led to a significant surge in computing complexity and energy consumption. This trend has prompted the adoption of acceleration hardware like tensor processing units (TPUs) and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to facilitate energy-efficient deployment on edge and mobile devices. However, recent studies have revealed their vulnerability to energy[…]

« Security supervision »

Security supervision is a field initiated in the 1980s. Even if the foundations of the field have remained unchanged for 40 years, the techniques for implementing them have of course greatly evolved.

« BAGUETTE: Hunting for Evidence of Malicious Behavior in Dynamic Analysis Reports »

Malware analysis consists of studying a sample of suspicious code to understand it and producing a representation or explanation of this code that can be used by a human expert or a clustering/classification/detection tool.
