Description
By a well-known result of Dwork the zeta functions of the fibers in a one-parameter family of hypersurfaces can be described in terms of p-adic holomorphic functions. This result was used by A. Lauder in order to formulate a deter- ministic algorithm that computes the zeta function of a hypersurface in polynomial time. In this talk we describe a similiar method for elliptic curves which is based on rigid cohomology rather than Dwork cohomology. In contrast to Dwork's theory, rigid cohomology is closely related to the notions of classical algebraic geometry. We give an overview on the theoretical background, describe the essential steps of the algorithm and comment on the problem of p-adic precision estimates. We also report on computational results obtained by a MAGMA implementation. In the last part we explain the relation between both theories and how Lauder's general algorithm can be reformulated in terms of rigid cohomology. This shows up similiarities as well as differences between the two approaches.

CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier
Orateur : 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
Orateur : 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
Orateur : 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
Orateur : 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[…]-
