Description
In this talk, we will sum up our recent research results concerning the introduction of a new representation for FCSRs and for LFSRs. This matrix based representation allows to construct LFSRs and FCSRs with a more compact hardware representation and a quicker diffusion while preserving the usual and proven good properties (good periods, $\ell$-sequences, good statistical behaviors, etc.). Moreover, this new approach circumvents the weaknesses of the Fibonacci and Galois representations of FCSRs. We also show how to extend the LFSRs representation to a particular LFSR case called the windmill case. LFSRs are well-known primitives used in cryptography especially for stream cipher design. However they have some drawbacks when looking at their resistance against algebraic attacks because of their linearity. In the contrary, FCSRs are inherently resistant to algebraic attacks due to the non-linearity of the update function. Using the new representation, we propose two new stream ciphers based on the so-called "ring" FCSR representation. The first proposal called F-FCSR is dedicated to hardware applications whereas the second proposal called X-FCSR is designed for software purposes but is also efficient in hardware.

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[…]-
