Rank metric cryptography and its implementations
Speaker : Nicolas Aragon
In 2017, the NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) started astandardization process in order to select post-quantum encryption and digital signature schemes. Among the proposed solutions, two rank-metric based encryption schemes were selected for the second round of the standardization process: ROLLOand RQC.This raised questions about both the performance and the security of the[…] -
Unique CAD-compatible SCA-security mechanisms, externally amplified coupling (EAC) attacks and (some) connection
Speaker : Itamar Levi
In this seminar I will first discuss unique computer aided design (CAD) compatible SCA security mechanisms. I will present an approach which can significantly increase the physical security-level of a design, be implemented with conventional design-tools and which does not require any special technological-support. The method consists with a correct by-design utilization of power-management[…] -
Code-based postquantum cryptography : candidates to standardization
Speaker : Nicolas Sendrier
At the third round of the NIST standardization process, three candidates remain with a security based on error correcting codes, all are key exchange mechanisms. We will explore them according to their security assumptions and properties. Among them, we find an historical scheme (Classic McEliece), as well as schemes using sparse and quasi-cyclic matrices (BIKE and HQC). We will examine pros and[…] -
Post-Quantum Cryptography Hardware: Monolithic Implementations vs. Hardware-Software Co-Design
Speaker : Markku-Juhani Saarinen
At PQShield, we’ve developed dedicated coprocessor(s) for lattice schemes, hash-based signatures, and code-based cryptography. These cryptographic modules are commercial rather than academic and designed to meet customer specifications such as a specific performance profile or Common Criteria and FIPS security certification requirements.Hardware implementations of legacy RSA and Elliptic Curve[…] -
Lattice-based NIST candidates: abstractions and ninja tricks
Speaker : Thomas Prest
I will present the remaining lattice-based candidates for standardization by NIST (2 signature schemes, 5 encryption schemes). At a high level, these can all be interpreted as straightforward instantiations of decades-old paradigms. But when we look under the hood, all of them make design choices which impact their security, efficiency and portability in distinct manners; we will discuss these.[…] -
SideLine and the advent of software-induced hardware attacks
Speaker : Joseph Gravellier
In this talk, we will discuss software-induced hardware attacks and their impact for IoT, cloud and mobile security. More specifically, I will introduce SideLine, a new power side-channel attack vector that can be triggered remotely to infer cryptographic secrets. SideLine is based on the intentional misuse of delay-lines components embedded in SoCs that use external memory. I will explain how we[…]
