  • CHERIoT RTOS: An OS for Fine-Grained Memory-Safe Compartments on Low-Cost Embedded Devices

    • November 21, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Room Métivier

    Speaker : Hugo Lefeuvre - The University of British Columbia

    Embedded systems do not benefit from strong memory protection, because they are designed to minimize cost. At the same time, there is increasing pressure to connect embedded devices to the internet, where their vulnerable nature makes them routinely subject to compromise. This fundamental tension leads to the current status-quo where exploitable devices put individuals and critical infrastructure[…]

  • What you never wanted to know about vulnerability databases

    • November 21, 2025 (10:00 - 11:00)

    Speaker : Henrik Plate - Endor Labs

    Vulnerability databases play a crucial role in modern software security, serving as the backbone for Application Security (AppSec) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools. However, the accuracy and reliability of these databases vary significantly, often leading to misinformed security decisions. This talk explores the challenges associated with vulnerability databases, including incomplete[…]

  • Some applications of linear programming to Dilithium

    • November 14, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • Salle 12 batimpent 32B

    Speaker : 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[…]
  • Lie algebras and the security of cryptosystems based on classical varieties in disguise

    • November 07, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

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

    Speaker : 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[…]

  • Passage à l’échelle des campagnes de simulations d’injections de fautes

    • October 24, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • IETR - University of Rennes - Campus de BEAULIEU - Bâtiment 11D, salle numéro 18

    Speaker : Ambre Iooss - Synacktiv

    Les injections de fautes constituent un vecteur d’attaque intéressant pour passer outre certaines protections lors de l’étude d’un système embarqué. Par exemple, corrompre le flot d’exécution d’un chargeur de démarrage peut permettre de passer outre une vérification de signature, et peut rendre possible l’exécution de code non signé. Dans le cas d’une exécution comportant un grand nombre d[…]

  • PhaseSCA: Exploiting Phase-Modulated Emanations in Side Channels

    • October 24, 2025 (10:00 - 11:00)

    • IETR - University of Rennes - Campus de BEAULIEU - Bâtiment 11D, salle numéro 18

    Speaker : Pierre Ayoub - LAAS-CNRS

    In recent years, the limits of electromagnetic side-channel attacks have been significantly expanded.However, while there is a growing literature on increasing attack distance or performance, the discovery of new phenomenons about compromising electromagnetic emanations remains limited. In this work, we identify a novel form of modulation produced by unintentional electromagnetic emanations: phase[…]
