Description
For many mutli-party applications group signatures are important cryptographic primitives that can be used for the purpose of anonymity and privacy. In classical group signatures members of a group are able to sign messages anonymously on behalf of the group. However, there exists a designated authority, called group manager, that initializes the scheme, adds new group members, and is able to open group signatures, i.e., identify the signer. Obviously, in classical group signatures the group manager is given enormous power compared to other group members and is required to be trusted to act as predestinated. On the other hand there exist multi-party applications where such centralized control (trust) is undesirable, e.g., federated (democratic) systems. For this kind of applications it is desirable to have a group signature scheme which provides similar properties but is independent of any centralized control.

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[…]-
