The partial-sums technique introduced by Ferguson et al. (2000) achieved a 6‑round AES attack with time complexity 2^{52} S‑box evaluations, a benchmark that has stood since. In 2014, Todo and Aoki proposed a comparable approach based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). 

In this talk, I will show how to combine partial sums with FFT to get "the best of both worlds". The resulting attack on 6‑round AES has a complexity of about 2^{46.4} additions, and I will outline how to implement it efficiently. A proof-of-concept implementation achieves a speedup of more than 32x over the previous best result, setting a new practical record for 6‑round AES after nearly 25 years.

    Je vais rappeler les travaux de Nuida et Ostrovski sur l'utilisation des groupes pour l'élaboration de schémas cryptographiques homomorphes. Je vais présenter nos travaux qui fournissent des encodages à la fois plus efficaces et plus généraux, et qui déterminent exactement quels groupes peuvent être utilisés.   Puis je vais discuter GRAFHEN, un protocole qui utilise ces idées.

    Robert recently described a powerful correspondence between certain (Hermitian) modules and (polarized) abelian varieties, which simultaneously generalizes both the class-group action underlying protocols such as CSIDH, and the Deuring correspondence, underlying protocols such as SQIsign. Using this correspondence, he also proposed how to construct a post-quantum NIKE, called MIKE, which, at a[…]
