Description
This work deals with the security problems in authentication schemes employing volatile biometric features, where the authentication is indeed a comparison between a fresh feature and that enrolled during the initialization phase. We propose a security model for biometric-based authentication schemes by assuming that the biometric features to be public. Extra attentions have been paid to the privacy issues related to the sensitive relation between a biometric feature and the relevant identity. To formally study the security issues in biometric information comparison, we introduce a new cryptographic primitive, i.e., Decisional Private Information Retrieval (DPIR), inspired by the concept of Private Information Retrieval (PIR). DPIR protocols enable a client to obtain some information about an item from a database without retrieving this item directly. One DPIR protocol is constructed using Paillier's public key encryption scheme and the ElGamal scheme. Finally, we present an authentication scheme based on this DPIR protocol, proved secure in our security model.<br/> Cet exposé est basé sur des travaux communs avec Hervé Chabanne (Sagem Défense Sécurité), Malika Izabachéne, David Pointcheval, Qiang Tang, et Sébastien Zimmer (ENS).

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[…]-
