The passwords that we use in our everyday life are often chosen to be easily memorable which makes them vulnerable to attacks. This problem is addressed by password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE). The general idea is to enable two parties who share the same (potentially weak) password to establish a strong session key. Most PAKE protocols used today are based on Diffie-Hellman key exchange in prime order groups, hence they are not secure against quantum attackers. A promising candidate for replacing Diffie-Hellman key exchange in a post-quantum world is the Commutative-Supersingular-Isogeny-Diffie-Hellman (CSIDH) key exchange. In this talk, we introduce two novel PAKE protocols based on CSIDH.

    BEANIE is a tweakable block cipher recently published at ToSC aiming for memory encryption of microcontroller units. In line with this goal, it handles small plaintexts of only 32 bits and has a low latency. In this paper, we propose the first third-party analysis of the two variants of BEANIE. By carefully leveraging structural properties of the cipher and taking advantage of its distinctive[…]
