Description
Provable security becomes more and more popular in the cryptographic community. As exemplified by the NESSIE project, it is now common to see it as an attribute of a cryptosystem. Provable security is at the protocol level; a harder task may be to evaluate the security of a cryptosystem at the implementation level. Rather than considering a cryptosystem as a black-box, we may assume that some sensitive data can leak during the course of the execution of a (naively implemented) crypto-algorithm. A concrete example is given by the so-called side-channel analysis.<br/> Side-channel analysis is a powerful technique re-discovered by P. Kocher in 1996. The principle consists in monitoring some side-channel information like the running time, the power consumption, or the electromagnetic radiation. Next, from the monitored data, the attacker tries to deduce the inner-workings of the algorithm and thereby to retrieve some secret information. When there is a single measurement, the process is referred to as a simple side-channel analysis; and when there are several measurements handled together with statistical tools, the process is referred to as differential side-channel analysis.<br/> This talk is aimed at studying the resistance of elliptic curve cryptosystems against those two classes of attacks. In particular, we survey the various strategies proposed so far to prevent side-channel attacks.

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[…]-
