  • Practical Strategy-Resistant Privacy-Preserving Elections

    Speaker : Quentin Santos - Orange

    Recent advances in cryptography promise to let us run com- plex algorithms in the encrypted domain. However, these results are still mostly theoretical since the running times are still much larger than their equivalents in the plaintext domain. In this context, Majority Judgment is a recent proposal for a new voting system with several interesting practical advantages, but which implies a more[…]
  • Zero-Knowledge Argument for Matrix-Vector Relations and Lattice-Based Group Encryption

    • September 28, 2018

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

    Speaker : Fabrice Mouhartem - ENS Lyon

    Group encryption (GE) is the natural encryption analogue of group signatures in that it allows verifiably encrypting messages for some anonymous member of a group while providing evidence that the receiver is a properly certified group member. Should the need arise, an opening authority is capable of identifying the receiver of any ciphertext. As intro- duced by Kiayias, Tsiounis and Yung […]
  • Key Reinstallation Attacks: Forcing Nonce Reuse in WPA2

    • March 23, 2018

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

    Speaker : Mathy Vanhoef - KU-Leuven

    We introduce key reinstallation attacks (KRACKs). These attacks abuse features of a protocol to reinstall an already in-use key, thereby resetting nonces and/or replay counters associated to this key. We show that our novel attack technique breaks several handshakes that are used in a WPA2-protected network.<br/> All protected Wi-Fi networks use the 4-way handshake to generate fresh session[…]
  • Grost Distinguishing Attack: A new rebound attack of an AES-like permutation

    • March 02, 2018

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

    Speaker : Victor Cauchois - DGA et IRMAR

    Grostl est une fonction de hachage finaliste de la compétition SHA-3. Elle est dotée d'une preuve de sécurité qui assure sa résistance aux attaques en collision, pré-image et seconde pré-image sous l'hypothèse que deux permutations internes sont idéales. Ces permutations, 14 tours d'un SPN, calques de l'AES, présentent une structure sensible aux attaques rebond. Ces attaques[…]
  • Learning With Errors and Extrapolated Dihedral Cosets Problem

    • February 23, 2018

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

    Speaker : Weiqiang Wen - ENS de Lyon

    The hardness of the learning with errors (LWE) problem is one of the most fruitful resources of modern cryptography. In particular, it is one of the most prominent candidates for secure post-quantum cryptography. Understanding its quantum complexity is therefore an important goal. We show that under quantum polynomial time reductions, LWE is equivalent to a relaxed version of the dihedral coset[…]
  • Horizontal isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varieties and the discrete logarithm problem

    • February 09, 2018

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

    Speaker : Benjamin WESOLOWSKI - École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne

    An isogeny graph is a graph whose vertices are abelian varieties (typically elliptic curves, or Jacobians of genus 2 hyperelliptic curves) and whose edges are isogenies between them. Such a graph is "horizontal" if all the abelian varieties have the same endomorphism ring. We study the connectivity and the expander properties of these graphs. We use these results, together with a recent[…]
