Description
We present new classical and quantum algorithms for solving random hard instances of the subset-sum problem, in which we are given n integers on n bits and try to find a subset of them that sums to a given target. This classical NP-complete problem has several applications in cryptography and underlies the security of some proposed post-quantum cryptosystems.<br/> At EUROCRYPT 2010, Howgrave-Graham and Joux (HGJ) introduced the representation technique and presented an algorithm running in time $\bigOt{2^{0.337 n}}$. This asymptotic time was improved by Becker, Coron, Joux (BCJ) at EUROCRYPT 2011. We show how to improve this further.<br/> We then move to the context of quantum algorithms. The two previous quantum speedups in the literature are given by Bernstein, Jeffery, Lange and Meurer (PQCRYPTO 2013) and Helm and May (TQC 2018), which are respectively quantum versions of HGJ and BCJ. They both rely on the framework of quantum walks, use exponential quantum memory with quantum random-access and require an unproven conjecture on quantum walk updates. We devise a new algorithm, using quantum search only, that achieves the first quantum speedup in the model of \emph{classical} memory with quantum random access. Next, we study improvements for the quantum walks. We show how to avoid the quantum walk conjecture and give a better quantum walk time complexity for subset-sum.<br/> lien: http://desktop.visio.renater.fr/scopia?ID=725403***3883&autojoin

Endomorphisms via Splittings
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[…]-

Schéma de signature à clé publique : Frobénius-UOV
Speaker : Gilles Macario-Rat - Orange
L'exposé présente un schéma de signature à clé publique post-quantique inspiré du schéma UOV et introduisant un nouvel outil : les formes de Frobénius. L'accent est mis sur le rôle et les propriétés des formes de Frobénius dans ce nouveau schéma : la simplicité de description, la facilité de mise en oeuvre et le gain inédit sur les tailles de signature et de clé qui bat RSA-2048 au niveau de[…]
