Description
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 remains slow in practice. A second generation of FHE schemes appeared in 2015 and is referred to as fast bootstrapping schemes. One limitation of the later schemes is that they can only bootstrap one message at a time, but the bootstrapping procedure is relatively fast.
This presentation aims to highlight some works on the optimisation of Boolean and arithmetic circuits in the context of FHE. The optimisation of the so-called multiplicative depth of circuits will be discussed. The multiplicative depth is an important metric for the first generation of FHE schemes, as ciphertext size and, consequently, execution performance depend heavily on it. In a second part, we will discuss a circuit mapping problem encountered in the practical application of fast-bootstrapping schemes.

Design of fast AES-based Universal Hash Functions and MACs
Orateur : Augustin Bariant - ANSSI
Ultra-fast AES round-based software cryptographic authentication/encryption primitives have recently seen important developments, fuelled by the authenticated encryption competition CAESAR and the prospect of future high-profile applications such as post-5G telecommunication technology security standards. In particular, Universal Hash Functions (UHF) are crucial primitives used as core components[…]-

Combining Partial Sums and FFT for the Fastest Known Attack on 6‑Round AES
Orateur : Shibam Ghosh - Inria
The partial-sums technique introduced by Ferguson et al. (2000) achieved a 6‑round AES attack with time complexity 2^{52} S‑box evaluations, a benchmark that has stood since. In 2014, Todo and Aoki proposed a comparable approach based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In this talk, I will show how to combine partial sums with FFT to get "the best of both worlds". The resulting attack on 6[…]-

Lie algebras and the security of cryptosystems based on classical varieties in disguise
Orateur : Mingjie Chen - KU Leuven
In 2006, de Graaf et al. proposed a strategy based on Lie algebras for finding a linear transformation in the projective linear group that connects two linearly equivalent projective varieties defined over the rational numbers. Their method succeeds for several families of “classical” varieties, such as Veronese varieties, which are known to have large automorphism groups. In this talk, we[…]-

Some applications of linear programming to Dilithium
Orateur : Paco AZEVEDO OLIVEIRA - Thales & UVSQ
Dilithium is a signature algorithm, considered post-quantum, and recently standardized under the name ML-DSA by NIST. Due to its security and performance, it is recommended in most use cases. During this presentation, I will outline the main ideas behind two studies, conducted in collaboration with Andersson Calle-Vierra, Benoît Cogliati, and Louis Goubin, which provide a better understanding of[…] -
Wagner’s Algorithm Provably Runs in Subexponential Time for SIS^∞
Orateur : Johanna Loyer - Inria Saclay
At CRYPTO 2015, Kirchner and Fouque claimed that a carefully tuned variant of the Blum-Kalai-Wasserman (BKW) algorithm (JACM 2003) should solve the Learning with Errors problem (LWE) in slightly subexponential time for modulus q = poly(n) and narrow error distribution, when given enough LWE samples. Taking a modular view, one may regard BKW as a combination of Wagner’s algorithm (CRYPTO 2002), run[…]-

CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier
Orateur : Bruno Blanchet - Inria
CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]-

Structured-Seed Local Pseudorandom Generators and their Applications
Orateur : Nikolas Melissaris - IRIF
We introduce structured‑seed local pseudorandom generators (SSL-PRGs), pseudorandom generators whose seed is drawn from an efficiently sampleable, structured distribution rather than uniformly. This seemingly modest relaxation turns out to capture many known applications of local PRGs, yet it can be realized from a broader family of hardness assumptions. Our main technical contribution is a[…]-
