New symmetric primitives are being designed to be run in abstract settings such as Multi-Party Computations (MPC) or Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proof systems. More particularly, these protocols have highlighted the need to minimize the number of multiplications performed by the primitive in large finite fields.<br/> As the number of such primitives grows, it is important to better understand the properties of their underlying operations. Then, we will investigate the Algebraic Degree of MiMC, one of the first such block ciphers. It is composed of many iterations of a simple round function, consisting of an addition and of a low-degree power permutation applied to the full state, usually the cube over a large field with characteristic 2. In particular, we will provide some precise guarantee on the Algebraic Degree of this cipher, and then on the minimal complexity for Integral attacks.<br/> Moving on to the designer's point of view, we will also introduce a family of ZK-friendly Hash Functions, based on what we have called a Flystel construction: a new variant of the Butterfly structure. One of the most innovating aspect of this design compared to those already offered in the above context is its reliance on the CCZ-equivalence of the permutation to a simpler one.<br/> lien: https://univ-rennes1-fr.zoom.us/j/97066341266?pwd=RUthOFV5cm1uT0ZCQVh6QUcrb1drQT09

    We investigate the average number of lattice points within a ball where the lattice is chosen at random from the set of unit determinant ideal or modules lattices of some cyclotomic number field. The goal is to consider the space of such lattice as a probabilistic space and then study the distribution of lattice point counts. This is inspired by the connections of this problem to lattice-based[…]

    L'exposé présente un schéma de signature à clé publique post-quantique inspiré du schéma UOV et introduisant un nouvel outil : les formes de Frobénius. L'accent est mis sur le rôle et les propriétés des formes de Frobénius dans ce nouveau schéma : la simplicité de description, la facilité de mise en oeuvre et le gain inédit sur les tailles de signature et de clé qui bat RSA-2048 au niveau de[…]
