Description
We present HAETAE (Hyperball bimodAl modulE rejecTion signAture schemE), a new lattice-based signature scheme, which we submitted to the Korean Post-Quantum Cryptography Competition for standardization. Like the NIST-selected Dilithium signature scheme, HAETAE is based on the Fiat-Shamir with Aborts paradigm, but our design choices target an improved complexity/compactness compromise that is highly relevant for many space-limited application scenarios. We primarily focus on reducing signature and verification key sizes so that signatures fit into one TCP or UDP datagram while preserving a high level of security against a variety of attacks. As a result, our scheme has signature and verification key sizes up to 40% and 25% smaller, respectively, compared than Dilithium.

On the average hardness of SIVP for module lattices of fixed rank
Speaker : Radu Toma - Sorbonne Université
In joint work with Koen de Boer, Aurel Page, and Benjamin Wesolowski, we study the hardness of the approximate Shortest Independent Vectors Problem (SIVP) for random module lattices. We use here a natural notion of randomness as defined originally by Siegel through Haar measures. By proving a reduction, we show it is essentially as hard as the problem for arbitrary instances. While this was[…] -
Lightweight (AND, XOR) Implementations of Large-Degree S-boxes
Speaker : Marie Bolzer - LORIA
The problem of finding a minimal circuit to implement a given function is one of the oldest in electronics. In cryptography, the focus is on small functions, especially on S-boxes which are classically the only non-linear functions in iterated block ciphers. In this work, we propose new ad-hoc automatic tools to look for lightweight implementations of non-linear functions on up to 5 variables for[…]-

Algorithms for post-quantum commutative group actions
Speaker : Marc Houben - Inria Bordeaux
At the historical foundation of isogeny-based cryptography lies a scheme known as CRS; a key exchange protocol based on class group actions on elliptic curves. Along with more efficient variants, such as CSIDH, this framework has emerged as a powerful building block for the construction of advanced post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, all protocols in this line of work are[…] -
Endomorphisms via Splittings
Speaker : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation
One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]-
