Description
In this talk, we focus on class group computations in number fields. We start by describing an algorithm for reducing the size of a defining polynomial of a number field. There exist infinitely many polynomials that define a specific number field, with arbitrarily large coefficients, but our algorithm constructs the one that has the absolutely smallest coefficients. The advantage of knowing such a ``small'' defining polynomial is that it makes calculations in the number field easier because smaller values are involved. In addition, thanks to such a small polynomial, one can use specific algorithms that are more efficient than the general ones for class group computations.<br/> The generic algorithm to determine the structure of a class group is based on ideal reduction, where ideals are viewed as lattices. We describe and simplify the algorithm presented by Biasse and Fieker in 2014 at ANTS and provide a more thorough complexity analysis for it. We also examine carefully the case of number fields defined by a polynomial with small coefficients. We describe an algorithm similar to the Number Field Sieve, which, depending on the field parameters, may reach the hope for complexity L(1/3). Finally, our results can be adapted to solve an associated problem: the Principal Ideal Problem. Given any basis of a principal ideal (generated by a unique element), we are able to find such a generator. As this problem, known to be hard, is the key-point in several homomorphic cryptosystems, the slight modifications of our algorithms provide efficient attacks against these cryptographic schemes.

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[…]-
