Updatable Encryption is a variant of symmetric encryption that allows to rotate the encryption key in the outsourced storage setting while minimizing the bandwith used. Indeed, any third party can update ciphertexts to the new key using a token provided by the key holder. UE schemes aim at providing strong confidentiality guarantees against adversaries that can corrupt keys and tokens. 

In this talk, I will give an overview of Updatable Encryption, show how to build post-quantum Updatable Encryption schemes using cryptographic group actions and give an instantiation based on isogenies. This is the first post-quantum Updatable Encryption construction not based on lattices and that allows an unlimited number of updates.

This is joint-work with Antonin Leroux (DGA-MI & IRMAR).

    I will present our key-recovery attack on the ACDGV public-key encryption scheme proposed at ASIACRYPT 2024 by Aragon, Couvreur, Dyseryn, Gaborit, and Vinçotte. The secret key is a Gabidulin code hidden by appending random rows and columns and by left- and right-multiplication with invertible matrices. Our attack exploits the resulting algebraic structure to recover an equivalent secret key. It[…]
