Combining Partial Sums and FFT for the Fastest Known Attack on 6‑Round AES
- October 17, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)
- IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue
Speaker : Shibam Ghosh - Inria

The partial-sums technique introduced by Ferguson et al. (2000) achieved a 6‑round AES attack with time complexity 2^{52} S‑box evaluations, a benchmark that has stood since. In 2014, Todo and Aoki proposed a comparable approach based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In this talk, I will show how to combine partial sums with FFT to get "the best of both worlds". The resulting attack on 6[…]

PhaseSCA: Exploiting Phase-Modulated Emanations in Side Channels
- October 24, 2025 (10:00 - 11:00)
- Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Espace de conférences
Speaker : Pierre Ayoub - LAAS-CNRS

In recent years, the limits of electromagnetic side-channel attacks have been significantly expanded.However, while there is a growing literature on increasing attack distance or performance, the discovery of new phenomenons about compromising electromagnetic emanations remains limited. In this work, we identify a novel form of modulation produced by unintentional electromagnetic emanations: phase[…]

Passage à l’échelle des campagnes de simulations d’injections de fautes
- October 24, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)
- Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Espace de conférences
Speaker : Ambre Iooss - Synacktiv

Les injections de fautes constituent un vecteur d’attaque intéressant pour passer outre certaines protections lors de l’étude d’un système embarqué. Par exemple, corrompre le flot d’exécution d’un chargeur de démarrage peut permettre de passer outre une vérification de signature, et peut rendre possible l’exécution de code non signé. Dans le cas d’une exécution comportant un grand nombre d[…]

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.

- White paper
« 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.

« 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[…]

« 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.
