Description
Hard learning problems (e.g., LPN, LWE and their variants) are attractive topics recently in the cryptographic community due to the numerous cryptosystems (symmetric or public-key) based on them. Normally these systems employ an instantiation of the underlying problem with a large dimension and relatively small noise to ensure the security and the high decryption success probability, respectively. In the famous BKW algorithm, Blum et al. first pointed out that balancing these two parameters plays a key role in solving these hard instances. Along their path, I will present a new idea to form better dimension-bias trade-offs by using coding theory, thereby resulting in better solutions. Lattice codes are used for solving LWE, and covering codes for LPN. Moreover, I will also present an improved method if additional algebraic structures are provided (e.g., in the reducible Ring-LPN case).

SoK: Security of the Ascon Modes
Speaker : Charlotte Lefevre - Radboud University
The Ascon authenticated encryption scheme and hash function of Dobraunig et al (Journal of Cryptology 2021) were recently selected as winner of the NIST lightweight cryptography competition. The mode underlying Ascon authenticated encryption (Ascon-AE) resembles ideas of SpongeWrap, but not quite, and various works have investigated the generic security of Ascon-AE, all covering different attack[…] -
Comprehensive Modelling of Power Noise via Gaussian Processes with Applications to True Random Number Generators
Speaker : Maciej Skorski - Laboratoire Hubert Curien
The talk examines power noise modelling through Gaussian Processes for secure True Random Number Generators. While revisiting one-sided fractional Brownian motion, we obtain novel contributions by quantifying posterior uncertainty in exact analytical form, establishing quasi-stationary properties, and developing rigorous time-frequency analysis. These results are applied to model oscillator[…]-

CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier
Speaker : Bruno Blanchet - Inria
CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]-
