    PARASITE: PAssword Recovery Attack against Srp Implementations in ThE wild

    • December 03, 2021

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

    Speaker : Daniel De Almeida Braga - Université Rennes 1

    Protocols for password-based authenticated key exchange (PAKE) allow two users sharing only a short, low-entropy password to establish a secure session with a cryptographically strong key. The challenge in designing such protocols is that they must resist offline dictionary attacks in which an attacker exhaustively enumerates the dictionary of likely passwords in an attempt to match the used[…]

    Practical Strategy-Resistant Privacy-Preserving Elections

    • October 19, 2018

    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[…]

    Quantum security of the Fiat-Shamir transform of commit and open protocols

    • April 26, 2019

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

    Speaker : André Chailloux - INRIA

    Applying the Fiat-Shamir transform on identification schemes is one of the main ways of constructing signature schemes. While the classical security of this transformation is well understood, there are still many cases for which we do not know whether the quantum security holds or not. In this paper, we show that if we start from a commit-and-open identification scheme, where the prover first[…]

    Cocks-Pinch curves of embedding degree five to eight and optimal ate pairing computation

    • June 21, 2019

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

    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[…]

    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 algorithm[…]
