    Thomas Johanson - Lund University

The F-FCSR stream cipher family has been presented a few years ago. Apart from some flaws in the initial propositions, corrected in a later stage, there are no known weaknesses of the core of these algorithms. The hardware oriented version, called FCSR-H, is one of the ciphers selected for the eSTREAM portfolio. In this paper we present a new and severe cryptanalytic attack on the F-FCSR stream cipher family. We give the details of the attack when applied on F-FCSR-H. The attack requires a few Mbytes of received sequence and the complexity is low enough to allow the attack to be performed on a single PC within seconds.

    We investigate the average number of lattice points within a ball where the lattice is chosen at random from the set of unit determinant ideal or modules lattices of some cyclotomic number field. The goal is to consider the space of such lattice as a probabilistic space and then study the distribution of lattice point counts. This is inspired by the connections of this problem to lattice-based[…]

    Speaker : Gilles Macario-Rat - Orange

    L'exposé présente un schéma de signature à clé publique post-quantique inspiré du schéma UOV et introduisant un nouvel outil : les formes de Frobénius. L'accent est mis sur le rôle et les propriétés des formes de Frobénius dans ce nouveau schéma : la simplicité de description, la facilité de mise en oeuvre et le gain inédit sur les tailles de signature et de clé qui bat RSA-2048 au niveau de[…]
