Description
We initiate the study of a novel class of group-theoretic intractability problems. Inspired by the theory of learning in presence of errors [Regev, STOC'05] we ask if noise in the exponent amplifies intractability. We put forth the notion of Learning with Errors in the Exponent (LWEE) and rather surprisingly show that various attractive properties known to ex- clusively hold for lattices carry over. Most notably are worst-case hardness and post-quantum resistance. In fact, LWEE's "diprosopus" is due to the reducibility to two seemingly orthogonal assumptions: Learning with errors and the representation problem [Brands, Crypto'93]. For suitable parameter choices one obtains double-hard assumptions superposing properties from each individual assumption. The argument holds in the classical and quantum model of computation, and makes LWEE an appealing provisioner of strong security and robustness guarantees. We give the very first construction of a semantically secure public-key encryption system in the standard model. The heart of our construction is an "error recovery" technique to tame the crucial propagation of noise in the exponent which is of independent interest.

Cyclotomic Cosets: Hidden Subgroup and Quantum Sieving Algorithm for Prime-Power Moduli
Orateur : Mathias Boucher - Université de Rennes
The Dihedral Coset Problem (DCP), also known as the hidden shift problem, plays a fundamental role in post-quantum public-key cryptography, since the Learning-With-Error problem reduces to DCP. The “Simon meets Kuperberg” quantum algorithm by Bonnetain and Naya-Plasencia solves the DCP in quasi-polynomial time when the modulus is a power of two. We provide a generalization of this algorithm for[…] -
Adelic reduction of module lattices
Orateur : Henry Bambury - DGA-MI et Inria Rennes
We give a strict generalisation of the LLL algorithm over number fields, based on the reduction theory of $GL(n)$ over the adele ring of a number field. Our algorithm is free of heuristics, with rigorous bounds on output quality and complexity. -- based on joint work with Seungki Kim, Changmin Lee and Phong Nguyen ---

Post-quantum day of the cryptography seminar
A scientific day devoted to post-quantum cryptography, held in the wake of the European Cyber Week, with talks more technical than those presented at the ECW. The talks will take place at Amphi E in building 02A. To register for lunch, please do so before oct 30th using this link. -
Chiffrement homomorphe à l'aide des groupes après Nuida
Orateur : Pierre Guillot - Ravel Technologies/Université de strasbourg
Nuida et d'autres ont montré comment on peut obtenir un protocole de chiffrement pleinement homomorphe si l'on sait chiffrer les éléments d'un groupe G convenable, tout en sachant faire l'opération de G "en homomorphe". Les exemples étaient jusqu'à présent limités au chiffrement d'un bit à la fois, avec beaucoup d'opérations à effectuer pour "simuler" les portes logiques usuelles. Je vais[…]-
