Description

  • Speaker

    Alex Bredariol Grilo - LIP6 (CNRS / Sorbonne Université)

QKD is a landmark of how quantum resources allow us to implement cryptographic
functionalities with a level of security that is not achievable only with classical resources.
However, key agreement is not sufficient to implement all functionalities of interest, and it is
well-known that they cannot be implemented with perfect security, even if we have access
to quantum resources. Thus, computational assumptions are necessary even in the quantum
world.

In this talk, I will cover recent examples that even in the computational setting, quantum
resources may give an advantage in the required assumption. More concretely, I will talk
about quantum implementations of multi-party computation and public-key encryption
under weaker computational assumptions than their classical counterparts. Moreover, I will
discuss new cryptographic assumptions that are inherently quantum, which have changed
the landscape of the feasibility of cryptographic primitives in the quantum world.

    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[…]

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

    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[…]

    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[…]
