Many code-based cryptosystems have been proposed recently, especially in response to the call for post-quantum cryptography standardization issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technologie. Most code-based cryptosystem rely on the same idea: an error-correcting code with some special structural properties (including good error-correction capacity) serves as the private key. This code is transformed and displayed in a form that is (supposedly) indistinguishable from a random code: this serves as the public key. However, in some cases, one can distinguish the public key from a random code. We will present such a distinguisher, the "squared code distinguisher", and how this can be used to perform key recovery attacks in polynomial time on some cryptosystems such as the RLCE scheme [Wang 2016] or the Expanded Reed-Solomon scheme [Khathuria, Rosenthal, Weger 2019].<br/> lien: http://desktop.visio.renater.fr/scopia?ID=723838***5009&autojoin

    I will present our key-recovery attack on the ACDGV public-key encryption scheme proposed at ASIACRYPT 2024 by Aragon, Couvreur, Dyseryn, Gaborit, and Vinçotte. The secret key is a Gabidulin code hidden by appending random rows and columns and by left- and right-multiplication with invertible matrices. Our attack exploits the resulting algebraic structure to recover an equivalent secret key. It[…]

    The Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem is the fundamental hardness assumption underlying the key encapsulation and signature schemes ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which have been selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography standardization. Understanding its quantum hardness is crucial for assessing the security of these standardized schemes.   Inspired by the equivalence between LWE and[…]
