SoK: Security of the Ascon Modes
Speaker : Charlotte Lefevre - Radboud University
The Ascon authenticated encryption scheme and hash function of Dobraunig et al (Journal of Cryptology 2021) were recently selected as winner of the NIST lightweight cryptography competition. The mode underlying Ascon authenticated encryption (Ascon-AE) resembles ideas of SpongeWrap, but not quite, and various works have investigated the generic security of Ascon-AE, all covering different attack[…] -
A non-comparison oblivious sort and its application to private k-NN
Speaker : Sofiane Azogagh - UQÀM
Sorting is a fundamental subroutine of many algorithms and as such has been studied for decades. A well-known result is the Lower Bound Theorem, which states that no comparison-based sorting algorithm can do better than O(nlog(n)) in the worst case. However, in the fifties, new sorting algorithms that do not rely on comparisons were introduced such as counting sort, which can run in linear time[…]-

La crypto-graphie et les crypto-monnaies
Speaker : Daniel Augot - INRIA Saclay—Île-de-France
De nos jours, la requête «crypto» dans un moteur de recherche renvoie aux cryptomonnaies. Mais «crypto means crypto», et on peut se poser la question des liens pertinents entre les deux domaines. D'un côté, le monde des cryptomonnaies et de la technologie sous-jacente s'est développé et évolue encore en dehors du monde académique. Il faut suivre d'un côté des posts de blog, des fils de discussion[…] -
[CANCELLED] Black-Box Collision Attacks on Widely Deployed Perceptual Hash Functions and Their Consequences
Speaker : Diane Leblanc-Albarel - KU Leuven
[CANCELLED] 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:[…]-

Oblivious Transfer from Zero-Knowledge Proofs (or how to achieve round-optimal quantum Oblivious Transfer without structure)
Speaker : Léo Colisson - Université Grenoble Alpes
We provide a generic construction to turn any classical Zero-Knowledge (ZK) protocol into a composable oblivious transfer (OT) protocol (the protocol itself involving quantum interactions), mostly lifting the round-complexity properties and security guarantees (plain-model/statistical security/unstructured functions…) of the ZK protocol to the resulting OT protocol. Such a construction is unlikely[…]-

Cryptanalytical extraction of complex Neural Networks in black-box settings
Speaker : Benoit COQUERET - INRIA, Thales CESTI
With the widespread development of artifical intelligence, Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have become valuable intellectual property (IP). In the past few years, software and hardware-based attacks targetting at the weights of the DNN have been introduced allowing potential attacker to gain access to a near-perfect copy of the victim's model. However, these attacks either fail against more complex[…]-
