Disjunctions for Hash Proof Systems: New Constructions and Applications
Speaker : Fabrice Ben Hamouda - ENS
Hash Proof Systems were first introduced by Cramer and Shoup (Eurocrypt'02) as a tool to construct efficient chosen-ciphertext-secure encryption schemes. Since then, they have found many other applications, including password authenticated key exchange, oblivious transfer, and zero-knowledge arguments. One of the aspects that makes hash proof systems so interesting and powerful is that they can be[…] -

Learning with Errors in the Exponent
Speaker : özgür Dagdelen - Darmstadt University
We initiate the study of a novel class of group-theoretic intractability problems. Inspired by the theory of learning in presence of errors [Regev, STOC'05] we ask if noise in the exponent amplifies intractability. We put forth the notion of Learning with Errors in the Exponent (LWEE) and rather surprisingly show that various attractive properties known to ex- clusively hold for lattices carry[…] -

On Error Correction for Physical Unclonable Functions
Speaker : Sven Muelich - Institute of Communications Engineering, Ulm University
Cryptographic applications require random, unique and unpredictable keys. Since most cryptosystems need to access the key several times, it usually has to be stored permanently. This is a potential vulnerability regarding security, even if a protected memory is used as key storage. Implementing secure key generation and storage is therefore an important and challenging task which can be[…] -

Beyond the black and grey box
Speaker : Yoni De Mulder - University of Leuven
In the white-box attack context, i.e., the setting where an implementation of a cryptographic algorithm is executed on an untrusted open platform, the adversary has full access to the implementation and its execution environment. As a result, the adversary is much more powerful than in a traditional black-box environment in which the adversary has only access to the inputs and outputs of a[…] -

A heuristic quasi-polynomial algorithm for discrete logarithm
Speaker : Razvan Basbulescu - LORIA
in finite fields of small characteristic The difficulty of discrete logarithm computations in fields GF(q^k) depends on the relative sizes of k and q. Until recently all the cases had a sub-exponential complexity of type L(1/3), similar to the complexity of factoring. If n is the bit-size of q^k, then L(1/3) can be approximated by 2^(n^(1/3)). In 2013, Joux designed a new algorithm for constant[…] -

Broadcast encryption: combinatorial vs. algebraic methods
Speaker : Duong-Hieu Phan - ENS
We consider a generalisation of the encryption from "one-to-one'' to "one-to-many'' communication, i.e. broadcast encryption. The objective is to allow a center to send secret messages to a large number of receivers. The security notion in “one-to-many” communications needs to be extended beyond the notion of confidentiality in “one-to-one” encryption in order to meet practical requirements. Two[…] -
