Description
The use of SAT solvers is enjoying a boom in the area of cryptanalysis. In this presentation we explore the reasons for the efficiency of SAT solvers in this field. The presentation will describe how SAT solvers' variable branching heuristics, conflict analysis routines and lazy data structures work in unison to create a complex algorithm that can tackle difficult problems with relative ease. During the presentation, we give examples to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each component of the final algorithm.

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[…]-
