    Towards privacy-preserving and fairness-aware federated learning framework

    • September 19, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

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

    Speaker : Nesrine Kaaniche - Télécom SudParis

    Federated Learning (FL) enables the distributed training of a model across multiple data owners under the orchestration of a central server responsible for aggregating the models generated by the different clients. However, the original approach of FL has significant shortcomings related to privacy and fairness requirements. Specifically, the observation of the model updates may lead to privacy[…]

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

    Speaker : Charles Meyer-Hilfiger - Inria Rennes

    The hardness of the decoding problem and its generalization, the learning with errors problem, are respectively at the heart of the security of the Post-Quantum code-based scheme HQC and the lattice-based scheme Kyber. Both schemes are to be/now NIST standards. These problems have been actively studied for decades, and the complexity of the state-of-the-art algorithms to solve them is crucially[…]

    NEAT: A Nile-English Aligned Translation Corpus based on a Robust Methodology for Intent Based Networking and Security

    • September 26, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Room Métivier

    Speaker : Pierre Alain - IUT de Lannion

    The rise of Intent Based Networking (IBN) has paved the way for more efficient network and security management, reduced errors, and accelerated deployment times by leveraging AI processes capable of translating natural language intents into policies or configurations. Specialized neural networks could offer a promising solution at the core of translation operations. Still, they require dedicated,[…]

    Black-Box Collision Attacks on Widely Deployed Perceptual Hash Functions and Their Consequences

    • October 03, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Métivier room

    Speaker : Diane Leblanc-Albarel - KU Leuven

    Perceptual hash functions identify multimedia content by mapping similar inputs to similar outputs. They are widely used for detecting copyright violations and illegal content but lack transparency, as their design details are typically kept secret. Governments are considering extending the application of these functions to Client-Side Scanning (CSS) for end-to-end encrypted services: multimedia[…]

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.
