Description
Cryptographic primitives arising from group theory have in the last few years attracted a lot of attention. Unfortunately, up to date most of the existing proposals are still far away from practical applications, not only due to unlucky computational assumptions which later turned out to be invalid. In this talk we address the impact of modern security analysis in the sense of provable security to cryptographic proposals building on group theory, providing examples of security deficiencies in some of the proposed schemes. Motivated by this, we give a theoretical framework for the design of provably secure public key encryption schemes taking non-abelian groups as a base. Our construction is inspired by Cramer and Shoup's general framework and is conceived as a guiding tool towards the construction of provable secure schemes in the standard model (without any idealization assumptions).

Polytopes in the Fiat-Shamir with Aborts Paradigm
Speaker : Hugo Beguinet - ENS Paris / Thales
The Fiat-Shamir with Aborts paradigm (FSwA) uses rejection sampling to remove a secret’s dependency on a given source distribution. Recent results revealed that unlike the uniform distribution in the hypercube, both the continuous Gaussian and the uniform distribution within the hypersphere minimise the rejection rate and the size of the proof of knowledge. However, in practice both these[…]-
