    Iryna Andriyanova - EPFL

Les codes definis par des graphes, par leurs bonnes performances -- proches des limites theoriques -- avec un decodage iteratif, sont tres populaires. L'analyse asymptotique (longueur infinie) des parametres offrant des performances optimales est poussee. Mais ces parametres ne sont plus optimaux dans le cas plus pragmatique des longueurs finies, qui reste peu etudie et non maitrise. C'est un probleme ouvert important aujourd'hui que d'optmiser les parametres des codes pour une longueur finie donnee. Pour le resoudre, il faudrait d'abord determiner des approximations adequates de ces performances qui soient valables dans le cadre tres general, c'est-a-dire pour plusieurs familles de codes definis par des graphes, differents algorithmes de decodage iteratif et types de canaux.<br/> Pour obtenir une telle approximation, on separe les contributions des erreurs de poids fort de celles de poids faible, avant de les combiner. Cette presentation concerne la region des erreurs de poids fort, appelee aussi region de waterfall, d'ensembles de codes qui peuvent etre decodes de maniere turbo. En supposant que la transmission transite par le canal binaire a effacements, nous generalisons a ces codes l'approche dite de l'echelle, precedemment utilisee pour les codes LDPC. Comme exemple, nous presentons les approximations des deux sous-ensembles de codes de type turbo, codes Repeat-Accumulate et turbo code paralleles.

  • On the average hardness of SIVP for module lattices of fixed rank

    • March 06, 2026 (13:45 - 14:45)

    Speaker : Radu Toma - Sorbonne Université

    In joint work with Koen de Boer, Aurel Page, and Benjamin Wesolowski, we study the hardness of the approximate Shortest Independent Vectors Problem (SIVP) for random module lattices. We use here a natural notion of randomness as defined originally by Siegel through Haar measures. By proving a reduction, we show it is essentially as hard as the problem for arbitrary instances. While this was[…]

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

    Speaker : Yevhen Perehuda - Ruhr-University Bochum

    In this work, we address the critical yet understudied question of the security of the most widely deployed pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) in AI applications. We show that these generators are vulnerable to practical and low-cost attacks. With this in mind, we conduct an extensive survey of randomness usage in current applications to understand the efficiency requirements imposed in[…]

    Speaker : Marie Bolzer - LORIA

    The problem of finding a minimal circuit to implement a given function is one of the oldest in electronics. In cryptography, the focus is on small functions, especially on S-boxes which are classically the only non-linear functions in iterated block ciphers. In this work, we propose new ad-hoc automatic tools to look for lightweight implementations of non-linear functions on up to 5 variables for[…]

    Speaker : Marc Houben - Inria Bordeaux

    At the historical foundation of isogeny-based cryptography lies a scheme known as CRS; a key exchange protocol based on class group actions on elliptic curves. Along with more efficient variants, such as CSIDH, this framework has emerged as a powerful building block for the construction of advanced post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, all protocols in this line of work are[…]

    Speaker : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation

    One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]
