Description
The Naccache-Stern (NS) knapsack cryptosystem is a little-known public-key encryption scheme, despite (or because of) its original design. In this scheme, the ciphertext is obtained by multiplying the public-keys indexed by the message bits modulo a prime p. The cleartext is then recovered by factoring the ciphertext raised to a secret power modulo p.<br/> NS encryption requires a multiplication per two plaintext bits on the average, while decryption is roughly as costly as an RSA decryption. However, NS features a bandwidth sublinear in log(p), namely log(p)/log(log(p)).<br/> This presentation presents new NS variants allowing to reach bandwidths linear in log(p). The price to pay for reaching a linear bandwidth is a public-key of size log3(p)/log(log(p)). Beyond their mathematical interest, these modifications can possibly make the NS knapsack cryptosystem more practical and attractive. The presentation will be held in French, and will be self-included as much as possible.<br/> This is a joint work with David Naccache (U. Paris II, ENS) and Jacques Stern (ENS) .

Dissecting CRAFT, a full-round attack
Orateur : Eran Lambooij - Inria
I will present the first full-round key recovery attack on CRAFT, a block cipher introduced at ToSC 2019. The attack builds on the previous observation (ToSC 2026) that the state of CRAFT can be decomposed into two parts that barely exchange information. We transform this property into a dissection attack on the full-round cipher. This shows that in some cases we can elevate the dissection attack[…]-

Key Attack on the ACDGV Matrix Encryption Scheme
Orateur : Anmoal Porwal - Technical University of Munich
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[…]-

Module Learning With Errors and Structured Extrapolated Dihedral Cosets
Orateur : Jinwei Zheng - Télécom Paris
The Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem is the fundamental hardness assumption underlying the key encapsulation and signature schemes ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which have been selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography standardization. Understanding its quantum hardness is crucial for assessing the security of these standardized schemes. Inspired by the equivalence between LWE and[…]-
