Description

  • Orateur

    Valerie Gilchrist - ULB

Public key cryptography relies on using mathematical functions that are easy to compute but hard to invert. A recent work by D'Alconzo, Flamini, and Gangemi attempted to build such a function from tensors and use it to create a commitment scheme. In this talk, we will review their construction and present an attack on it, rendering it completely insecure. We will also offer an approach to repairing it.

The talk is based on the work from https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/337, but no prior knowledge is necessary.

    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[…]

    Orateur : Arthur Herlédan Le Merdy - COSIC, KU Leuven

    The threat of quantum computers motivates the introduction of new hard problems for cryptography.One promising candidate is the Isogeny problem: given two elliptic curves, compute a “nice’’ map between them, called an isogeny.In this talk, we study classical attacks on this problem, specialised to supersingular elliptic curves, on which the security of current isogeny-based cryptography relies. In[…]
