Description
In the last decade, several works have focused on finding the best way to model circuit leakage in order to obtain provably secure implementations. One of the most realistic models is the noisy leakage model, introduced in (Prouff, Rivain'13) and (Duc-Dziembowski-Faust'14) together with secure constructions. These works suffer from various limitations, in particular the use of ideal leak-free gates in (Prouff, Rivain'13) and an important loss (in the size of the field) in the reduction in (Duc-Dziembowski-Faust'14). In this work, we provide new strategies to prove the security of masked implementations and start by unifying the different noisiness metrics used in prior works by relating all of them to a standard notion in information theory: the pointwise mutual information. Based on this new interpretation, we define two new natural metrics and analyze the security of known compilers with respect to these metrics. In particular, we prove (1) a tighter bound for reducing the noisy leakage models to the probing model using our first new metric, (2) better bounds for amplification-based security proofs using the second metric. To support that the improvements we obtain are not only a consequence of the use of alternative metrics, we show that for a concrete representation of leakage (e.g, "Hamming weight + Gaussian noise''), our approach significantly improves the parameters compared to prior works. Finally, using the Rényi divergence, we quantify concretely the advantage of an adversary in attacking a block cipher depending on the number of leakage acquisitions available to it.

Efficient zero-knowledge proofs and arguments in the CL framework
Orateur : Agathe Beaugrand - Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux
The CL encryption scheme, proposed in 2015 by Castagnos and Laguillaumie, is a linearly homomorphic encryption scheme, based on class groups of imaginary quadratic fields. The specificity of these groups is that their order is hard to compute, which means it can be considered unknown. This particularity, while being key in the security of the scheme, brings technical challenges in working with CL,[…] -
Constant-time lattice reduction for SQIsign
Orateur : Sina Schaeffler - IBM Research
SQIsign is an isogeny-based signature scheme which has recently advanced to round 2 of NIST's call for additional post-quantum signatures. A central operation in SQIsign is lattice reduction of special full-rank lattices in dimension 4. As these input lattices are secret, this computation must be protected against side-channel attacks. However, known lattice reduction algorithms like the famous[…] -
Circuit optimisation problems in the context of homomorphic encryption
Orateur : Sergiu Carpov - Arcium
Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is an encryption scheme that enables the direct execution of arbitrary computations on encrypted data. The first generation of FHE schemes began with Gentry's groundbreaking work in 2019. It relies on a technique called bootstrapping, which reduces noise in FHE ciphertexts. This construction theoretically enables the execution of any arithmetic circuit, but[…] -
Cycles of pairing-friendly abelian varieties
Orateur : Maria Corte-Real Santos - ENS Lyon
A promising avenue for realising scalable proof systems relies on the existence of 2-cycles of pairing-friendly elliptic curves. More specifically, such a cycle consists of two elliptic curves E/Fp and E’/Fq that both have a low embedding degree and also satisfy q = #E(Fp) and p = #E’(Fq). These constraints turn out to be rather restrictive; in the decade that has passed since 2-cycles were first[…]-
