Description
Public key cryptography relies on using mathematical functions that are easy to compute but hard to invert. A recent work by D'Alconzo, Flamini, and Gangemi attempted to build such a function from tensors and use it to create a commitment scheme. In this talk, we will review their construction and present an attack on it, rendering it completely insecure. We will also offer an approach to repairing it.
The talk is based on the work from https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/337, but no prior knowledge is necessary.

Computational assumptions in the quantum world
Speaker : Alex Bredariol Grilo - LIP6 (CNRS / Sorbonne Université)
QKD is a landmark of how quantum resources allow us to implement cryptographicfunctionalities with a level of security that is not achievable only with classical resources.However, key agreement is not sufficient to implement all functionalities of interest, and it iswell-known that they cannot be implemented with perfect security, even if we have accessto quantum resources. Thus, computational[…]-

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[…]-
