  • Generic SCARE: reverse engineering without knowing the algorithm nor the machine

    • April 12, 2024

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

    Speaker : Hélène LE BOUDER - IMT Atlantique

    A novel side-channel-based reverse engineering technique is introduced, capable of reconstructing a procedure solely from inputs, outputs, and traces of execution. Beyond generic restrictions, no prior knowledge of the procedure or the chip it operates on is assumed. These restrictions confine the analysis to 8-bit RISC constant-time software implementations. Specifically, the feasibility of[…]

  • Ind-cpa-d insecurity of approximate and exact homomorphic encryption schemes

    • March 29, 2024

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

    Speaker : Elias Suvanto - Cryptolab

    Fully Homomorphic Encryption enables the evaluation of arbitrary circuits over encrypted data while maintaining the confidentiality of the underlying messages. It greatly enhances functionality but also comes with security challenges for some applications like Threshold FHE. While the standard IND-CPA security is sufficient against honest but curious adversaries, a stronger security notion called[…]
  • Recent advances in post-quantum signatures based on the MPC-in-the-Head paradigm

    • March 22, 2024

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

    Speaker : Thibauld Feneuil - CryptoExperts

    Zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge are useful tools for designing signature schemes. Among the existing techniques, the MPC-in-Head (MPCitH) paradigm provides a generic framework to build quantum-resilient proofs using techniques from secure multiparty computation. This paradigm has recently been improved in a series of works which makes it an effective and versatile tool. In this talk, I will[…]
  • Updatable Public Key Encryption with Lattices

    • February 23, 2024

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

    Speaker : Calvin Abou-Haidar - ENS Lyon

    Updatable public key encryption has recently been introduced as a so- lution to achieve forward-security in the context of secure group messaging without hurting efficiency, but so far, no efficient lattice-based instantia- tion of this primitive is known. In this work, we construct the first LWE-based UPKE scheme with polynomial modulus-to-noise rate, which is CPA-secure in the standard model. At[…]
  • Quantum Linear Key-recovery Attacks Using the QFT

    • February 09, 2024

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

    Speaker : André Schrottenloher - IRISA

    The Quantum Fourier Transform is a fundamental tool in quantum cryptanalysis, not only as the building block of Shor's algorithm, but also in attacks against symmetric cryptosystems. Indeed, hidden shift algorithms such as Simon's (FOCS 1994), which rely on the QFT, have been used to obtain attacks on some very specific block cipher structures. The Fourier Transform is also used in classical[…]
