The correspondence between maximal orders in a quaternion algebra and supersingular elliptic curves has uncovered new perspectives in the field of isogeny-based cryptography. The KLPT algorithm of Kohel et al. in 2014 introduces an algorithm solving the quaternion isogeny path problem in polynomial time. Studying this problem has applications both constructive and destructive. It has allowed to reduce the problem of computing isogenies between two curves to the one of endomorphism ring computation. The GPS signature scheme from Galbraith et al. in 2017 was built on this algorithm.<br/> The main algorithm of KLPT solves the problem when the maximal order is special extremal. The paper also proposes a generalized version, but it produces an output with some very characteristic property that prevent from using it in some applications, like a generalization of the GPS signature. In this work, we propose a new method to generalize the algorithm. It produces a shorter solution with the same time complexity and without the problematic property.<br/> lien: https://e-learning.sviesolutions.com/pffi7slpuumw

  • CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier

    • November 28, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    Speaker : Bruno Blanchet - Inria

    CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]

  • Structured-Seed Local Pseudorandom Generators and their Applications

    • December 05, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

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

    Speaker : Nikolas Melissaris - IRIF

    We introduce structured‑seed local pseudorandom generators (SSL-PRGs), pseudorandom generators whose seed is drawn from an efficiently sampleable, structured distribution rather than uniformly. This seemingly modest relaxation turns out to capture many known applications of local PRGs, yet it can be realized from a broader family of hardness assumptions. Our main technical contribution is a[…]

  • Post-Quantum Public-Key Pseudorandom Correlation Functions for OT

    • December 12, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

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

    Speaker : Mahshid Riahinia - ENS, CNRS

    Public-Key Pseudorandom Correlation Functions (PK-PCF) are an exciting recent primitive introduced to enable fast secure computation. Despite significant advances in the group-based setting, success in the post-quantum regime has been much more limited. In this talk, I will introduce an efficient lattice-based PK-PCF for the string OT correlation. At the heart of our result lie several technical[…]
  • Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction

    • December 19, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

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

    Speaker : Paola de Perthuis - CWI

    Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as `Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens[…]
