    Quentin Santos - Orange

Recent advances in cryptography promise to let us run com- plex algorithms in the encrypted domain. However, these results are still mostly theoretical since the running times are still much larger than their equivalents in the plaintext domain. In this context, Majority Judgment is a recent proposal for a new voting system with several interesting practical advantages, but which implies a more involved tallying process than rst-past-the-post voting. To protect voters' privacy, such a process needs to be done by only manipulating encrypted data.<br/> In this paper, we then explore the possibility of computing the (ordered) winners in the Majority Judgment election without leaking any other in- formation, using homomorphic encryption and multiparty computation. We particularly focus on the practicality of such a solution and, for this purpose, we optimize both the algorithms and the implementations of several cryptographic building blocks. Our result is very positive, show- ing that this is as of now possible to attain practical running times for such a complex privacy-protecting tallying process, even for large-scale elections. lien: rien

    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[…]

    Speaker : Augustin Bariant - ANSSI

    Ultra-fast AES round-based software cryptographic authentication/encryption primitives have recently seen important developments, fuelled by the authenticated encryption competition CAESAR and the prospect of future high-profile applications such as post-5G telecommunication technology security standards. In particular, Universal Hash Functions (UHF) are crucial primitives used as core components[…]

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

    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[…]

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

    Speaker : Paco AZEVEDO OLIVEIRA - Thales & UVSQ

    Dilithium is a signature algorithm, considered post-quantum, and recently standardized under the name ML-DSA by NIST. Due to its security and performance, it is recommended in most use cases.   During this presentation, I will outline the main ideas behind two studies, conducted in collaboration with Andersson Calle-Vierra, Benoît Cogliati, and Louis Goubin, which provide a better understanding of[…]
