    Pauline Bert - soutenance de thèse, amphi P de l'ISTIC, 14h

Lattice-based cryptography is one of the major line of research to build post-quantum public key primitives. In this thesis, we discuss about digital signatures constructions and their implementation. We first describe a Fiat-Shamir transformation from an identification scheme using rejection sampling to a digital signature secure in the random oracle model. Then we describe an identity-based encryption scheme and we prove its security in the standard model. An identity-based encryption scheme is like a classical public key where the public key is the identity of a user such as its email address or its social security number.<br/> A user contacts a third trusted party to get a secret key associated to its identity. In our construction, a secret key consists essentially in a signature of the identity of the user. We also describe this underlying digital signature scheme associated to our identity based encryption scheme.<br/> Finally, we present implementation results of these two schemes and how we choose concrete parameters.<br/> lien: rien

    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[…]

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

    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[…]
