    Speaker : Xavier Bonnetain - Inria

    BEANIE is a tweakable block cipher recently published at ToSC aiming for memory encryption of microcontroller units. In line with this goal, it handles small plaintexts of only 32 bits and has a low latency. In this paper, we propose the first third-party analysis of the two variants of BEANIE. By carefully leveraging structural properties of the cipher and taking advantage of its distinctive[…]

Schéma de signature à clé publique : Frobénius-UOV

  • May 29, 2026 (13:45 - 14:45)

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

Speaker : Gilles Macario-Rat - Orange

L'exposé présente un schéma de signature à clé publique post-quantique inspiré du schéma UOV et introduisant un nouvel outil : les formes de Frobénius. L'accent est mis sur le rôle et les propriétés des formes de Frobénius dans ce nouveau schéma : la simplicité de description, la facilité de mise en oeuvre et le gain inédit sur les tailles de signature et de clé qui bat RSA-2048 au niveau de[…]

Presentation of the seminar

  • Scientists welcome the renewed interest and original insight that cryptography brings to their disciplines, as well as the intellectual challenges posed to them.

    Multidisciplinary par excellence, cryptography constitutes a point of contact between number theory, algebraic geometry, algorithms and computer science. It brings whole sections of the most fundamental mathematics into contact with applications of great practical importance. 

  • Leader :

    Board :

    • The General Directorate of Armament (DGA) : state body responsible for the development of cryptographic algorithms, which depends on the the Ministry of the Armed Forces.
    • Rennes Mathematical Research Institute (IRMAR) : mathematics research laboratory associating the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the University of Rennes, the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan), the National Institute of Applied Sciences of Rennes (INSA Rennes) and the University of Rennes 2.
    • Institute for Research in Computer Science and Random Systems (IRISA): computer science research laboratory in Rennes.

    DGA, IRISA and IRMAR wish, by organizing this cooperative seminar, to crystallize the interest of different actors in the Rennes region around cryptography and, beyond current fashion, to encourage fruitful and scientific collaboration. quality.
