Algebraic geometry meets microcontrollers: Efficient, compact key
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
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
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
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.
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
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[…] -
