    Discrete logarithm computation in finite fields GF(p^k) with NFS

    • March 01, 2019

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

    Speaker : Aurore Guillevic - INRIA

    Pairings on elliptic curves are involved in signatures, NIZK, and recently in blockchains (ZK-SNARKS).<br/> These pairings take as input two points on an elliptic curve E over a finite field, and output a value in an extension of that finite field. Usually for efficiency reasons, this extension degree is a power of 2 and 3 (such as 12,18,24), and moreover the characteristic of the finite field has[…]

    Cryptography based on rank metric codes

    • November 08, 2019

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

    Speaker : Nicolas Aragon - Université de Limoges, exceptionnellement salle Jersey à l'ISTIC

    In the past few years, the interest for rank metric based cryptography has drastically increased, especially since the beginning of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization process : five rank metric based proposals were submitted to the first round. This talk will present the different approaches and tradeoffs for building Key Encapsulation Mechanisms and Public Key Encryption schemes[…]

    CRYSTALS: Dilithium and Kyber

    • November 10, 2017

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

    Speaker : Damien Stehlé - ENS de Lyon

    Kyber -- a Key Exchange Mechanism -- and Dilithium -- a digital signature -- are the two components of the Cryptographic Suite for Algebraic Lattices (CRYSTALS). I will present the intractable problems underlying their security, overview their design and comment their practical performance. The talk is based on the following articles:<br/> https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/633.pdf<br/&gt; https:/[…]

    Improved Cryptanalysis of Rank Metric Schemes Based on Gabidulin Codes.

    • February 03, 2017

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

    Speaker : Hervé Talé Kalachi - Université de Rouen et Université de Yaoundé, Cameroun

    In this presentation, we prove that any variant of the GPT cryptosystem which uses a right column scrambler over the extension field as advocated by the works of Gabidulin et al. with the goal to resist to Overbeck’s structural attack are actually still vulnerable to that attack. We show that by applying the Frobenius operator appropriately on the public key, it is possible to build a Gabidulin[…]

    A Modular Security Analysis of EAP and IEEE 802.11

    • April 07, 2017

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

    Speaker : Haakon Jacobsen - TBD

    The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a widely used three-party authentication framework that allows a client to connect to a wireless access point it does not share a secret with, using a mutually trusted server. EAP is often found in enterprise networks or large organizations to provide central key-management and user authentication; one prime example being the eduroam network.<br/> In[…]

    On the Construction of Lightweight S-Boxes

    • December 15, 2017

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

    Speaker : Sébastien Duval - INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt

    S-Boxes are essential objects in the conception of blockciphers. Typically, an S-Box is simply a permutation (bijective function) on n bits, with n small (usually 4 or 8). Its role in a blockcipher is to bring nonlinearity to the cipher, thus an S-Box must be highly nonlinear. Several parameters of a function are used to measure nonlinearity, among which the most important are differential[…]
