    Multilinear Maps from Obfuscation

    • October 21, 2016

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

    Speaker : Pooya Farshim - ENS Paris

    We provide constructions of multilinear groups equipped with natural hard problems from indistinguishability obfuscation, homomorphic encryption, and NIZKs. This complements known results on the constructions of indistinguishability obfuscators from multilinear maps in the reverse direction.<br/> We provide two distinct, but closely related constructions and show that multilinear analogues of the[…]

    Learning with Errors in the Exponent

    • March 07, 2014

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

    Speaker : özgür Dagdelen - Darmstadt University

    We initiate the study of a novel class of group-theoretic intractability problems. Inspired by the theory of learning in presence of errors [Regev, STOC'05] we ask if noise in the exponent amplifies intractability. We put forth the notion of Learning with Errors in the Exponent (LWEE) and rather surprisingly show that various attractive properties known to ex- clusively hold for lattices carry[…]

    Power decoding of Hermitian codes in sub-quadratic time

    • January 09, 2015

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

    Speaker : Johan Nielsen - INRIA Saclay Ile de France

    Reed-Solomon codes have optimal minimum distance and we know efficient encoding and decoding algorithms of quasi-linear complexity in the length. Their main drawback is that their lengths are bounded by the size of the alphabet, i.e. the field over which they are defined. Algebraic geometry codes are a generalisation allowing longer codes on the same alphabet, and one of the most interesting sub[…]

    Beyond the black and grey box

    • April 25, 2014

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

    Speaker : Yoni De Mulder - University of Leuven

    In the white-box attack context, i.e., the setting where an implementation of a cryptographic algorithm is executed on an untrusted open platform, the adversary has full access to the implementation and its execution environment. As a result, the adversary is much more powerful than in a traditional black-box environment in which the adversary has only access to the inputs and outputs of a[…]

    A heuristic quasi-polynomial algorithm for discrete logarithm

    • October 03, 2014

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

    Speaker : Razvan Basbulescu - LORIA

    in finite fields of small characteristic The difficulty of discrete logarithm computations in fields GF(q^k) depends on the relative sizes of k and q. Until recently all the cases had a sub-exponential complexity of type L(1/3), similar to the complexity of factoring. If n is the bit-size of q^k, then L(1/3) can be approximated by 2^(n^(1/3)). In 2013, Joux designed a new algorithm for constant[…]

    Cryptanalysis of Round-Reduced PRINCE and TWINE

    • March 27, 2015

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

    Speaker : Patrick Derbez - Luxembourg

    NXP Semiconductors and its academic partners challenged the cryptographic community with finding practical attacks on the block cipher they designed, PRINCE. In the first part of this talk we present new attacks on round-reduced PRINCE including the ones which won the challenge in the 6 and 8-round categories --- the highest for which winners were identified. Our first attacks rely on a meet-in[…]
