Cryptanalytic time-memory trade-offs were introduced by Hellman in 1980 in order to perform key-recovery attacks on cryptosystems. A major advance was presented at Crypto 2003 by Oechslin, with the rainbow tables that outperform Hellman's seminal work. After introducing the cryptanalytic time-memory trade-offs, we will present in this talk a new variant of tables, known as fingerprint tables, which drastically reduce the number of false alarms during the attack compared to the rainbow tables. The key point of the technique consists in storing in the tables the fingerprints of the chains instead of their endpoints.<br/> The fingerprint tables provide a time-memory trade-off that is about two times faster than the rainbow tables on usual problem sizes. We will illustrate the performance of the fingerprint tables by cracking Windows NTLM Hash Passwords.

    I will present our key-recovery attack on the ACDGV public-key encryption scheme proposed at ASIACRYPT 2024 by Aragon, Couvreur, Dyseryn, Gaborit, and Vinçotte. The secret key is a Gabidulin code hidden by appending random rows and columns and by left- and right-multiplication with invertible matrices. Our attack exploits the resulting algebraic structure to recover an equivalent secret key. It[…]

    The Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem is the fundamental hardness assumption underlying the key encapsulation and signature schemes ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which have been selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography standardization. Understanding its quantum hardness is crucial for assessing the security of these standardized schemes.   Inspired by the equivalence between LWE and[…]
