Description
The Even-Mansour (EM) encryption scheme received a lot of attention in the last couple of years due to its exceptional simplicity and tight security proofs. The original $1$-round construction was naturally generalized into $r$-round structures with one key, two alternating keys, and completely independent keys.<br/> In this talk I will describe the first key recovery attack on the one-key 3-round version of EM which is faster than exhaustive search. I will then show how to use the new cryptanalytic techniques in order to improve the best known attacks on several concrete EM-like schemes such as the block cipher LED.<br/> The talk will be mostly self-contained and intended to a wide audience. Based on joint work with Orr Dunkelman, Nathan Keller and Adi Shamir.

Oblivious Transfer from Zero-Knowledge Proofs (or how to achieve round-optimal quantum Oblivious Transfer without structure)
Speaker : Léo Colisson - Université Grenoble Alpes
We provide a generic construction to turn any classical Zero-Knowledge (ZK) protocol into a composable oblivious transfer (OT) protocol (the protocol itself involving quantum interactions), mostly lifting the round-complexity properties and security guarantees (plain-model/statistical security/unstructured functions…) of the ZK protocol to the resulting OT protocol. Such a construction is unlikely[…]-
