    Ba Duc Pham - Rennes

In 2005, Faure and Loidreau proposed a new rank-metric cryptosystem inspired from the Hamming metric scheme of Augot-Finiasz in 2003. In 2018, it was broken by the attack of Gaborit, Otmani and Kalachi. Recently, there are some attempts of repairing the Faure-Loidreau scheme, for example the work of Renner, Puchinger and Wachter–Zeh which is called LIGA. In this thesis, we also introduce a new cryptosystem so-called RAMESSES which is another repairing of Faure-Loidreau scheme.<br/> Besides, we also study about the recent attack of Coggia and Couveur in the Loidreau's cryptosystem (2017). Although they only propose an idea for a special case of the dimension of secret subspace, this attack can be generalized. In this thesis, we propose an analysis of Coggia-Couvreur attack on Loidreau’s rank-metric public-key encryption scheme in the general case. The last part is a study about the decoding of the sum of Gabidulin codes which is inspired from the work of Loidreau in 2005 "Welch-Berlekamp Like Algorithm for Decoding Gabidulin Codes". This work is also an attempt to repair the Loidreau's cryptosystem (2017) to avoid the Coggia-Couveur's attack.<br/> lien:

  • CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier

    • November 28, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : Bruno Blanchet - Inria

    CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]

  • Structured-Seed Local Pseudorandom Generators and their Applications

    • December 05, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : Nikolas Melissaris - IRIF

    We introduce structured‑seed local pseudorandom generators (SSL-PRGs), pseudorandom generators whose seed is drawn from an efficiently sampleable, structured distribution rather than uniformly. This seemingly modest relaxation turns out to capture many known applications of local PRGs, yet it can be realized from a broader family of hardness assumptions. Our main technical contribution is a[…]

  • Post-Quantum Public-Key Pseudorandom Correlation Functions for OT

    • December 12, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : Mahshid Riahinia - ENS, CNRS

    Public-Key Pseudorandom Correlation Functions (PK-PCF) are an exciting recent primitive introduced to enable fast secure computation. Despite significant advances in the group-based setting, success in the post-quantum regime has been much more limited. In this talk, I will introduce an efficient lattice-based PK-PCF for the string OT correlation. At the heart of our result lie several technical[…]
  • Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction

    • December 19, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : Paola de Perthuis - CWI

    Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as `Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens[…]
