Description
More than 30 years ago, Buchmann and Williams proposed using ideal class groups of imaginary quadratic fields in cryptography with a Diffie-Hellman style key exchange protocol. After several twists, there has been in recent years a new interest in this area. This rebirth is mainly due to two features. First, class groups of imaginary quadratic fields allow the design of cryptographic protocols that do not require a trusted setup. This particularity has been used for example to build cryptographic accumulators and verifiable delay functions. Secondly, using these groups, we proposed in 2015 a versatile encryption scheme, linearly homomorphic modulo a prime that has found many applications, for instance in secure two-party computation.<br/> In this talk, I will give an overview of cryptography based on class groups of imaginary quadratic fields and discuss recent developments.<br/> lien: http://desktop.visio.renater.fr/scopia?ID=727785***7248&autojoin

Polytopes in the Fiat-Shamir with Aborts Paradigm
Speaker : Hugo Beguinet - ENS Paris / Thales
The Fiat-Shamir with Aborts paradigm (FSwA) uses rejection sampling to remove a secret’s dependency on a given source distribution. Recent results revealed that unlike the uniform distribution in the hypercube, both the continuous Gaussian and the uniform distribution within the hypersphere minimise the rejection rate and the size of the proof of knowledge. However, in practice both these[…]-
