Description
Secure multi-party computing often enhances efficiency by leveraging correlated randomness. Recently, Boyle et al. showcased the effectiveness of pseudorandom correlation generators (PCGs) in producing substantial correlated (pseudo)randomness, specifically for two-party random oblivious linear evaluations (OLEs). This process involves minimal interactions and subsequent local computations, enabling secure two-party computation with silent pre-processing. The methodology is extendable to N-party through programmable PCGs. However, existing programmable PCGs for OLEs face limitations, as they generate OLEs exclusively over large fields and relying on a recent divisible ring-LPN assumption lacking a robust security foundation. In this talk, I'll introduce the Quasi-Abelian Syndrome Decoding Problem, a broader interpretation of the Quasi-Cyclic decoding problem. The hardness of this new problem enables constructing programmable PCGs for OLE correlation on any field Fq (with q>2). This instantiation is resilient to attacks on the linear test framework and allows a reduction in search to decision, addressing weaknesses in previous constructions. This work is based on a joint work with Maxime Bombar, Geoffroy Couteau and Alain Couvreur.

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[…]-
