Description
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 to exist classically as Cryptomania is believed to be different from Minicrypt. In particular, by instantiating our construction using Non-Interactive ZK (NIZK), we provide the first round-optimal (2-message) quantum OT protocol secure in the random oracle model, and round-optimal extensions to string and k-out-of-n OT. At the heart of our construction lies a new method that allows us to generalize zero-knowledge proofs to quantum states (importantly, without destroying the tested state!).

Soutenance de thèse : Cryptanalyse de schémas de cryptographie à clé publique (Cryptanalysis of public-key cryptosystems)
Speaker : Paul Kirchner - IRISA
Résumé : La cryptanalyse de schémas de cryptographie à clé publique repose sur un ensemble de techniques algorithmiques et algébriques en théorie des nombres. Dans une première partie de cette thèse, nous présentons des améliorations de l’algorithme LLL, dû à Lenstra, Lenstra et Lovasz pour réduire un réseau euclidien, c’est-à-dire réduire la norme et orthogonaliser le plus possible les vecteurs[…]-

La crypto-graphie et les crypto-monnaies
Speaker : Daniel Augot - INRIA Saclay—Île-de-France
De nos jours, la requête «crypto» dans un moteur de recherche renvoieaux cryptomonnaies. Mais «crypto means crypto», et on peut se poser laquestion des liens pertinents entre les deux domaines. D'un coté, le monde des cryptomonnaies et de la technologiesous-jacente s'est développé et évolue encore en dehors du mondeacadémique. Il faut suivre d'un coté des posts de blog, des fils dediscussion X[…] -
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[…]-
