Description
Since the start of the NIST standardization project for post-quantum cryptography in 2017, rank metric based cryptography is becoming more popular as an alternative to code-based cryptography in the Hamming metric.<br/> While rank based cryptography has always been competitive in terms of keys and ciphertexts sizes, the lack of maturity in the implementations of these cryptosystems made them significantly slower when compared to code-based primitives. There has been a lot of recents results that overcome this problem by providing faster, but also more secure implementations for rank based cryptography, especially regarding timing and cache attacks.<br/> The first part of this talk will present an overview of the existing cryptographic primitives in rank-based cryptography, as well as the challenges encountered when implementing these primitives, and the importance of providing "constant time" implementations.<br/> The second part will take as an example the implementation of the key generation step for the ROLLO key exchange mechanism, and will present different constant time algorithms that can be used to perform this operation securely and efficiently : a constant-time GCD algorithm, and a variation of the Itoh-Tsujii algorithm.<br/> lien: https://univ-rennes1-fr.zoom.us/j/97066341266?pwd=RUthOFV5cm1uT0ZCQVh6QUcrb1drQT09

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[…]-
