    Algebraic geometry meets microcontrollers: Efficient, compact key

    • January 20, 2017

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

    Speaker : Ben Smith - Ecole polytechnique

    This talk will describe how we have applied the theory of Kummer surfaces --classic objects in algebraic geometry-- to produce compact, high-speed software for secure key exchange and signatures on microcontrollers. This is joint work with Brian Chung, Craig Costello, Joost Renes, Peter Schwabe, and Lejla Batina.

    Locally recoverable codes from curves

    • October 20, 2017

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

    Speaker : Everett Howe - Center for Communications Research, San Diego

    A locally recoverable code, or LRC, is a code over a finite alphabet such that the value of any single coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from the values of a small subset of other coordinates. I will explain why LRCs are important for applications such as cloud data storage, and I will present several constructions of locally recoverable codes from Galois covers of curves over finite[…]

    Improving greedy nonrandomness detectors for stream ciphers

    • March 24, 2017

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

    Speaker : Paul Stankovski - Université de Lund

    We consider the problem of designing distinguishers and nonrandomness detectors for stream ciphers using the maximum degree monomial test. We construct an improved algorithm to determine the subset of key and IV-bits used in the test. The algorithm is generic, and can be applied to any stream cipher. In addition to this, the algorithm is highly tweakable, and can be adapted depending on the[…]

    Class Group Computations in Number Fields and Applications to Cryptology

    • December 08, 2017

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

    Speaker : Alexandre Gelin - Versailles-Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines

    In this talk, we focus on class group computations in number fields. We start by describing an algorithm for reducing the size of a defining polynomial of a number field. There exist infinitely many polynomials that define a specific number field, with arbitrarily large coefficients, but our algorithm constructs the one that has the absolutely smallest coefficients. The advantage of knowing such a[…]

    Tightly Secure CCA-Secure Encryption without Pairings.

    • November 25, 2016

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

    Speaker : Romain Gay - ENS

    (Joint work with Dennis Hofheinz, Eike Kiltz and Hoeteck Wee) We present the first CCA-secure public-key encryption scheme based on DDH where the security loss is independent of the number of challenge ciphertexts and the number of decryption queries. Our construction extends also to the standard k-Lin assumption in pairing-free groups, whereas all prior constructions starting with Hofheinz and[…]

    Adaptive Oblivious Transfer with Access Control for NC1 from LWE

    • June 16, 2017

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

    Speaker : Fabrice Mouhartem - Ens Lyon

    Adaptive oblivious transfer (OT) is a protocol where a sender initially commits to a database M_1, …, M_N. Then, a receiver can query the sender up to k times with private indexes ρ_1, …, ρ_k so as to obtain M_{ρ_1}, …, M_{ρ_k} and nothing else. Moreover, for each i ∈ [k], the receiver’s choice ρ_i may depend on previously obtained messages {M_{ρ_j}}_{j< i} . Oblivious transfer with access control[…]
