Finding a short non zero vector in an Euclidean lattice is a well-studied problem which has proven useful to construct many cryptographic primitives. The current best asymptotic algorithm to find a relatively short vector in an arbitrary lattice is the BKZ algorithm. This algorithm recovers a vector which is at most $2^{n^{\alpha}}$ times larger than the shortest non zero vector in time $2^{n^{1-\alpha}}$ for any $\alpha$ between 0 and 1.<br/> In order to gain in efficiency, it is sometimes interesting to use structured lattices instead of general lattices. An example of such structured lattices are ideal lattices. One may then wonder whether, on the security front, it is easier to find short vectors in a structured lattice or not. Until 2016, there was no known algorithm which would perform better on ideal lattices than the BKZ algorithm (either classically or quantumly). In 2016 and 2017, Cramer-Ducas-Peikert-Regev and Cramer-Ducas-Wesolowski proposed a quantum algorithm that finds a $2^{\sqrt n}$ approximation of the shortest non zero vector in polynomial time. However, the BKZ algorithm remained the best algorithm in the classical setting or for approximation factor smaller than $2^{\sqrt n}$ in the quantum setting.<br/> In this talk, I will present an algorithm that extends the one of Cramer et al. and improves upon the BKZ algorithm for ideal lattices, both quantumly and classically. This algorithm is heuristic and non uniform (i.e., it requires an exponential time pre-processing).<br/> lien: http://desktop.visio.renater.fr/scopia?ID=723420***3028&autojoin

  • Dissecting CRAFT, a full-round attack

    • September 18, 2026 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • Batiment 32A salle 15

    Speaker : Eran Lambooij - Inria

    I will present the first full-round key recovery attack on CRAFT, a block cipher introduced at ToSC 2019. The attack builds on the previous observation (ToSC 2026) that the state of CRAFT can be decomposed into two parts that barely exchange information. We transform this property into a dissection attack on the full-round cipher. This shows that in some cases we can elevate the dissection attack[…]

    Speaker : Anmoal Porwal - Technical University of Munich

    I will present our key-recovery attack on the ACDGV public-key encryption scheme proposed at ASIACRYPT 2024 by Aragon, Couvreur, Dyseryn, Gaborit, and Vinçotte. The secret key is a Gabidulin code hidden by appending random rows and columns and by left- and right-multiplication with invertible matrices. Our attack exploits the resulting algebraic structure to recover an equivalent secret key. It[…]

    Speaker : Jinwei Zheng - Télécom Paris

    The Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem is the fundamental hardness assumption underlying the key encapsulation and signature schemes ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which have been selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography standardization. Understanding its quantum hardness is crucial for assessing the security of these standardized schemes.   Inspired by the equivalence between LWE and[…]
