Cocks-Pinch curves of embedding degree five to eight and optimal ate pairing computation
Speaker : Simon Masson - Loria, Nancy
Recent algorithmic improvements of discrete logarithm computation in special extension fields threaten the security of pairing-friendly curves used in practice. A possible answer to this delicate situation is to propose alternative curves that are immune to these attacks, without compromising the efficiency of the pairing computation too much. We follow this direction, and focus on embedding[…] -
Improved Veron Identification and Signature Schemes in the Rank Metric
Speaker : Florian Caullery - Darkmatter
Abstract—It is notably challenging to design an efficient and secure signature scheme based on error-correcting codes. An approach to build such signature schemes is to derive it from an identification protocol through the Fiat-Shamir transform.<br/> All such protocols based on codes must be run several rounds, since each run of the protocol allows a cheating probability of either 2/3 or 1/2. The[…] -
Challenges related to random number generation for cryptographic applications
Speaker : Elie Noumon Allini
The main purpose of cryptography is to ensure secure communication. In order to achieve this goal, cryptographic schemes make an intensive use of random numbers. Given that the security of these schemes highly depends on these numbers, it is important to produce high-quality random numbers. Knowing that most cryptographic modules are nowadays implemented in logic devices, we investigated True[…] -
Laser-Based Attacks Against FPGA Bitstream Encryption
Speaker : Heiko Lohrke
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) use encryption to protect the configuration data or “bitstream” containing the design to be run on the device. This encryption aims at protecting the intellectual property and other secrets contained in the bitstream and preventing e.g. cloning or tampering with an FPGA implementation.This talk will demonstrate how attackers can use failure analysis equipment[…] -
A Formal Analysis of 5G Authentication
Speaker : Sasa Radomirovic (University of Dundee)
Mobile communication networks connect much of the world’s population. The security of users’ calls, text messages, and mobile data depends on the guarantees provided by the Authenticated Key Exchange protocols used. For the next-generation network (5G), the 3GPP group has standardized the 5G AKA protocol for this purpose.In this talk, I will report on our formalization of the 5G standard’s AKA[…] -
Approx-SVP in Ideal Lattices with Pre-processing
Speaker : Alice Pellet-Mary - ENS de Lyon
Finding a short non zero vector in an Euclidean lattice is a well-studied problem which has proven useful to construct many cryptographic primitives. The current best asymptotic algorithm to find a relatively short vector in an arbitrary lattice is the BKZ algorithm. This algorithm recovers a vector which is at most $2^{n^{\alpha}}$ times larger than the shortest non zero vector in time $2^{n^{1-[…]
