We present an improved algorithm for finding low-weight multiples of polynomials over the binary field using coding heoretic methods. The associated code defined by the given olynomial has a cyclic structure, allowing an algorithm to earch for shifts of the sought minimum-weight odeword. Therefore, a code with higher dimension is onstructed, having a larger number of low-weight codewords nd through some additional processing also reduced minimum istance. Applying an algorithm for finding low-weight odewords in the constructed code yields a lower complexity or finding low-weight polynomial multiples compared to revious approaches. As an application, we show a key-recovery ttack against TCHo that has a lower complexity than the hosen security level indicate. Using similar ideas we also present a new probabilistic algorithm for finding a multiple of weight 4, which is faster than previous approaches. For example, this is relevant in correlation attacks on stream ciphers.

    Je vais rappeler les travaux de Nuida et Ostrovski sur l'utilisation des groupes pour l'élaboration de schémas cryptographiques homomorphes. Je vais présenter nos travaux qui fournissent des encodages à la fois plus efficaces et plus généraux, et qui déterminent exactement quels groupes peuvent être utilisés.   Puis je vais discuter GRAFHEN, un protocole qui utilise ces idées.

    Robert recently described a powerful correspondence between certain (Hermitian) modules and (polarized) abelian varieties, which simultaneously generalizes both the class-group action underlying protocols such as CSIDH, and the Deuring correspondence, underlying protocols such as SQIsign. Using this correspondence, he also proposed how to construct a post-quantum NIKE, called MIKE, which, at a[…]
