Description
In 1978, McEliece introduced a public key encryption scheme based on linear codes and suggested to use classical Goppa codes, ie: subfield subcodes of algebraic geometric (AG) codes built on a curve of genus 0. This proposition remains secure and in order to have a generalization of classical Goppa codes, in 1996, H. Janwa and O. Moreno suggested to use subfield subcode of AG codes, which we call alternant AG codes. This proposition give a bigger choice of code because we can vary the curve, the genus, and the rational points of the divisor which generate the code. The principal limitation is the very large public keys of these codes compared to other public-key cryptosystems. To overcome this limitation, we decrease the key size by choosing codes which admit very compact public matrix. A way to obtained short key is to use codes having a non-trivial automorphisme group, for instance here we deal with quasi-cyclic alternant AG codes.

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[…]-
