  • Quantum cryptanalysis of block ciphers: beyond quadratic speedups

    • November 26, 2021

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : André Schrottenloher - CWI

    The security of modern cryptosystems relies on computational assumptions, which may be challenged by the advent of large-scale quantum computing devices.<br/> While Shor's algorithm is known to break today's most popular public-key schemes, secret-key cryptosystems are generally expected to retain half of their pre-quantum bits of security. However, the precise advantage of quantum attacks cannot[…]
  • A Concrete Treatment of Efficient Continuous Group Key Agreement via Multi-Recipient PKEs

    • November 19, 2021

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : Thomas Prest - PQShield

    Continuous group key agreements (CGKAs) are a class of protocols that can provide strong security guarantees to secure group messaging protocols such as Signal and MLS. Protection against device compromise is provided by commit messages: at a regular rate, each group member may refresh their key material by uploading a commit message, which is then downloaded and processed by all the other members[…]
  • Formal security proofs in a post-quantum world

    • November 19, 2021

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - - Room TBD

    Speaker : Charlie Jacomme (CISPA)

    In the recent years, formals methods for security and their associated tools have been used successfully both to find novel and complex attacks on many protocols [A] and to help in their standardization process. They however face a new challenge with the increasing probability of quantum computers coming into the real-world: we need to be able to provide guarantees against quantum attackers.In[…]

  • Soutenance de thèse: Theoretical Hardness of Algebraically Structured Learning With Errors

    • November 16, 2021

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : Katharina Boudgoust - Rennes

    The main focus of this PhD thesis lies on the computational problem Learning With Errors (LWE). It is a core building block of lattice-based cryptography, which itself is among the most promising candidates to replace current cryptographic protocols once large-scale quantum computers may be available. The contributions of the present work are separated into two different parts. First, we study the[…]
  • Towards Security-Oriented Program analysis

    • October 29, 2021

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - - Room TBD

    Speaker : Sébastien Bardin (CEA LIST)

    While digital security concerns increase, we face both a urging demand for more and more code-level security analysis and a shortage of security experts. Hence the need for techniques and tools able to automate part of these code-level security analyses. As source-level program analysis and formal methods for safety-critical applications have made tremendous progress in the past decades, it is[…]
