    A heuristic quasi-polynomial algorithm for discrete logarithm

    • October 03, 2014

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

    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

    • April 10, 2015

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

    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[…]

    Learning with Errors in the Exponent

    • March 07, 2014

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

    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[…]

    GGHLite: More Efficient Multilinear Maps from Ideal Lattices

    • December 05, 2014

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

    Speaker : Adeline Langlois - ENS Lyon

    The GGH Graded Encoding Scheme (of Garg, Gentry and Halevi), based on ideal lattices, is the first plausible approximation to a cryptographic multilinear map. Unfortunately, using the security analysis the authors provided, the scheme requires very large parameters to provide security for its underlying encoding re-randomization process. Our main contributions are to formalize, simplify and[…]

    Beyond the black and grey box

    • April 25, 2014

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

    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[…]

    L1 a new quasi-linear LLL algorithm

    • May 13, 2011

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

    Speaker : Andy Novocin - ENS Lyon

    The LLL lattice reduction algorithm of 1982 has proven to be useful in a wide variety of fields. It can be used to approximately solve computationally difficult lattice-based problems, such as the shortest vector problem, in polynomial time. We present a new algorithm for lattice reduction which is the first algorithm to have a complexity bound which is both polynomial and quasi-linear bound in[…]
