Description
Groups of prime order with a bilinear structure are interesting objects for public key cryptography. In the first part of the lecture we shall explain how the pairing on points of the Jacobian variety which is usually called "Tate-pairing" can be got in a p- adic setting by the Lichtenbaum pairing. On the one hand side this setting gives us more freedom for its computation which leads to more efficiency if the genus of the underlying curve is larger than 1.<br/> On the other side it shows that the Brauer groups of local fields arises in a natural way in the world of discrete logarithms based on ideal class groups. This, and the great importance of Brauer groups for number theory, motivates that one should try to investigate them computationally. In the second part of the lecture we shall present index-calculus methods for Brauer groups with applications to the classical discrete logarithm and to the computation of Euler's totient function.

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[…]-
