Description
The Naccache-Stern (NS) knapsack cryptosystem is a little-known public-key encryption scheme, despite (or because of) its original design. In this scheme, the ciphertext is obtained by multiplying the public-keys indexed by the message bits modulo a prime p. The cleartext is then recovered by factoring the ciphertext raised to a secret power modulo p.<br/> NS encryption requires a multiplication per two plaintext bits on the average, while decryption is roughly as costly as an RSA decryption. However, NS features a bandwidth sublinear in log(p), namely log(p)/log(log(p)).<br/> This presentation presents new NS variants allowing to reach bandwidths linear in log(p). The price to pay for reaching a linear bandwidth is a public-key of size log3(p)/log(log(p)). Beyond their mathematical interest, these modifications can possibly make the NS knapsack cryptosystem more practical and attractive. The presentation will be held in French, and will be self-included as much as possible.<br/> This is a joint work with David Naccache (U. Paris II, ENS) and Jacques Stern (ENS) .

Design of fast AES-based Universal Hash Functions and MACs
Speaker : Augustin Bariant - ANSSI
Ultra-fast AES round-based software cryptographic authentication/encryption primitives have recently seen important developments, fuelled by the authenticated encryption competition CAESAR and the prospect of future high-profile applications such as post-5G telecommunication technology security standards. In particular, Universal Hash Functions (UHF) are crucial primitives used as core components[…]-

Lie algebras and the security of cryptosystems based on classical varieties in disguise
Speaker : Mingjie Chen - KU Leuven
In 2006, de Graaf et al. proposed a strategy based on Lie algebras for finding a linear transformation in the projective linear group that connects two linearly equivalent projective varieties defined over the rational numbers. Their method succeeds for several families of “classical” varieties, such as Veronese varieties, which are known to have large automorphism groups. In this talk, we[…]-

Some applications of linear programming to Dilithium
Speaker : Paco AZEVEDO OLIVEIRA - Thales & UVSQ
Dilithium is a signature algorithm, considered post-quantum, and recently standardized under the name ML-DSA by NIST. Due to its security and performance, it is recommended in most use cases. During this presentation, I will outline the main ideas behind two studies, conducted in collaboration with Andersson Calle-Vierra, Benoît Cogliati, and Louis Goubin, which provide a better understanding of[…] -
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[…]-
