Description
Public key cryptography is based on hard problems, such as the discrete logarithm problem (DLP). In this talk, I focus on the discrete logarithm problem in finite fields:<br/> Given GF(q^k) and a generator g of GF(q^k)*, we say that we solve the DLP in GF(q^k) if, for any arbitrary element h in GF(q^k)*, we are able to recover an integer x such that: g^x = h. When the characteristic is small compared to the extension degree, the best complexity that can be achieved is quasipolynomial in log(q^k). I present here a simplified version of this quasipolynomial algorithm that has several advantages:<br/> 1/ I swear it is simple, or at least I will do my best to make it understandable.<br/> 2/ Together with additional ideas, simplifying the original settings permits to decrease the complexity of relation collection, linear algebra and extension phases, that dominate in practice all discrete logarithms computations. Namely, the complexity is reduced from O(q^7) to O(q^6). 3/ With our simplified settings, the complexity achieved in the general case became similar to the complexity known for Kummer (or twisted Kummer) extensions. Thus it permitted to achieve a discrete log computation in GF_(3^(5*497)), that is not only the highest cardinality reached in characteristic 3, but also not a special extension field as previous target fields were.<br/> This is a joint work with Antoine Joux.

!!! Reporté !!! Encryption homomorphe sans bruit à l'aide de groupes
Speaker : Pierre Guillot - Ravel Technologies (dispo Université de Strasbourg, IRMA)
Je vais rappeler les travaux de Nuida et Ostrovski sur l'utilisation des groupes pour l'élaboration de schémas cryptographiques homomorphes. Je vais présenter nos travaux qui fournissent des encodages à la fois plus efficaces et plus généraux, et qui déterminent exactement quels groupes peuvent être utilisés. Puis je vais discuter GRAFHEN, un protocole qui utilise ces idées. Je dirai juste[…]-

MIKE: An efficient and compact NIKE Based on a Commutative Monoidal Action
Speaker : Jonathan Komada Eriksen - COSIC, KU Leuven
Robert recently described a powerful correspondence between certain (Hermitian) modules and (polarized) abelian varieties, which simultaneously generalizes both the class-group action underlying protocols such as CSIDH, and the Deuring correspondence, underlying protocols such as SQIsign. Using this correspondence, he also proposed how to construct a post-quantum NIKE, called MIKE, which, at a[…]-
