Description
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 improve the efficiency and the security analysis of the re-randomization process in the GGH construction. We apply these results in a new construction that we call GGHLite. In particular, we first lower the size of a standard deviation parameter of the re-randomization process from exponential to polynomial in the security parameter. This first improvement is obtained via a finer security analysis of the drowning step of re-randomization, in which we apply the Rényi divergence instead of the conventional statistical distance as a measure of distance between distributions. Our second improvement is to reduce the number of randomizers needed from Omega(n log n) to 2, where n is the dimension of the underlying ideal lattices. These two contributions allow us to decrease the bit size of the public parameters from O(lambda^5 log lambda) for the GGH scheme to O(lambda log^2 lambda)$ in GGHLite, with respect to the security parameter lambda for a constant multilinearity parameter.

Dual attacks in code-based (and lattice-based) cryptography
Speaker : Charles Meyer-Hilfiger - Inria Rennes
The hardness of the decoding problem and its generalization, the learning with errors problem, are respectively at the heart of the security of the Post-Quantum code-based scheme HQC and the lattice-based scheme Kyber. Both schemes are to be/now NIST standards. These problems have been actively studied for decades, and the complexity of the state-of-the-art algorithms to solve them is crucially[…]-

Lie algebras and the security of cryptosystems based on classical varieties in disguise
Speaker : Mingjie Chen - KU Leuven
In 2006, de Graaf et al. proposed a strategy based on Lie algebras for finding a linear transformation in the projective linear group that connects two linearly equivalent projective varieties defined over the rational numbers. Their method succeeds for several families of “classical” varieties, such as Veronese varieties, which are known to have large automorphism groups. In this talk, we[…]-
