Description
We present a technique for the verification of cryptographic protocols, based on an abstract representation of the protocol by a set of Horn clauses, and on a resolution algorithm on these clauses. This technique allows a flexible encoding of many cryptographic primitives. It can verify a wide range of security properties of the protocols, such as secrecy, authenticity, and limited cases of process equivalences, in a fully automatic way. Furthermore, the obtained security proofs are valid for an unbounded number of sessions of the protocol, in parallel or not.

Oblivious Transfer from Zero-Knowledge Proofs (or how to achieve round-optimal quantum Oblivious Transfer without structure)
Speaker : Léo Colisson - Université Grenoble Alpes
We provide a generic construction to turn any classical Zero-Knowledge (ZK) protocol into a composable oblivious transfer (OT) protocol (the protocol itself involving quantum interactions), mostly lifting the round-complexity properties and security guarantees (plain-model/statistical security/unstructured functions…) of the ZK protocol to the resulting OT protocol. Such a construction is unlikely[…]-
