    Vers l’émergence d’un droit européen pour la Blockchain : Une approche sous l’angle de la Privacy et de l’encadrement des crypto-actifs

    • December 05, 2025 (10:00 - 11:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Aurigny room

    Speaker : Damien Franchi - Univ Rennes, IODE

    La Blockchain, technologie derrière Bitcoin, fait l’objet d’un encadrement juridique de plusen plus important, en particulier de la part de l’Union européenne. Curieusement, le mot« Blockchain » n’apparaît pas dans les textes l’encadrant. Les expressions « technologie deregistres distribués » (Distributed ledger technology, DLT), ou, parfois, « registreélectronique » lui sont plutôt privilégiées.[…]

    Blockchain and digital currencies: between European regulation and technological challenges

    • December 05, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Aurigny room

    Speaker : Loïc Miller - CentraleSupélec

    As the European Union develops a legal framework for crypto-assets and data protection, the technological question underlying the emergence of a genuine digital currency remains open. Blockchain today stands as an interdisciplinary field of study at the crossroads of computer science, economics, and law. This presentation will place the ongoing regulatory framework in perspective with the[…]

    Structured-Seed Local Pseudorandom Generators and their Applications

    • December 05, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : Nikolas Melissaris - IRIF

    We introduce structured‑seed local pseudorandom generators (SSL-PRGs), pseudorandom generators whose seed is drawn from an efficiently sampleable, structured distribution rather than uniformly. This seemingly modest relaxation turns out to capture many known applications of local PRGs, yet it can be realized from a broader family of hardness assumptions. Our main technical contribution is a[…]

    Hardware-Software Co-Designs for Microarchitectural Security

    • December 11, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Room Petri/Turing

    Speaker : Lesly-Ann Daniel - EURECOM

    Microarchitectural optimizations, such as caches and speculative out-of-order execution, are essential for achieving high performance. However, these same mechanisms also open the door to attacks that can undermine software-enforced security policies. The current gold standard for defending against such attacks is the constant-time programming discipline, which prohibits secret-dependent control[…]

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.
