Description

    Tanja Lange - Technische Universiteit Eindhoven

The curve shape suggested by Edwards does not define elliptic curves over fields of characteristic 2. We recently generalized the concept of Edwards curves and defined binary Edwards curves. These curves offer complete addition formulas and are the first binary curves with this property. Doubling and differential addition (addition of two points with known difference, like in the Montgomery ladder) are very fast on these curves. We present the design principles behind this choice of curve shape, present the birational equivalence with Weierstrass elliptic curves and explain how to obtain fast doubling and differential addition.<br/> This is joint work with Daniel J. Bernstein and Reza Rezaeian Farashahi.

  • Some applications of linear programming to Dilithium

    • November 14, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

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

    Speaker : Paco AZEVEDO OLIVEIRA - Thales & UVSQ

    Dilithium is a signature algorithm, considered post-quantum, and recently standardized under the name ML-DSA by NIST. Due to its security and performance, it is recommended in most use cases.   During this presentation, I will outline the main ideas behind two studies, conducted in collaboration with Andersson Calle-Vierra, Benoît Cogliati, and Louis Goubin, which provide a better understanding of[…]
  • Wagner’s Algorithm Provably Runs in Subexponential Time for SIS^∞

    • November 21, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • Salle Guernesey à l'ISTIC

    Speaker : Johanna Loyer - Inria Saclay

    At CRYPTO 2015, Kirchner and Fouque claimed that a carefully tuned variant of the Blum-Kalai-Wasserman (BKW) algorithm (JACM 2003) should solve the Learning with Errors problem (LWE) in slightly subexponential time for modulus q = poly(n) and narrow error distribution, when given enough LWE samples. Taking a modular view, one may regard BKW as a combination of Wagner’s algorithm (CRYPTO 2002), run[…]

  • CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier

    • November 28, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • Batiment 32B salle 12

    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[…]

  • Structured-Seed Local Pseudorandom Generators and their Applications

    • December 05, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

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

    Speaker : Nikolas Melissaris - IRIF

    We introduce structured‑seed local pseudorandom generators (SSL-PRGs), pseudorandom generators whose seed is drawn from an efficiently sampleable, structured distribution rather than uniformly. This seemingly modest relaxation turns out to capture many known applications of local PRGs, yet it can be realized from a broader family of hardness assumptions. Our main technical contribution is a[…]
