The security of modern cryptosystems relies on computational assumptions, which may be challenged by the advent of large-scale quantum computing devices.<br/> While Shor's algorithm is known to break today's most popular public-key schemes, secret-key cryptosystems are generally expected to retain half of their pre-quantum bits of security. However, the precise advantage of quantum attacks cannot be determined without a dedicated analysis.<br/> In this talk, we will focus on key-recovery attacks against block ciphers. These attacks are often categorized in two scenarios, depending on the type of black-box access allowed to the adversary: either a classical query access, or a "quantum" query access where the black-box is part of the adversary's quantum algorithm. Attacks with classical queries, which are deemed more realistic, have so far complied with the rule of halving security levels.<br/> On the contrary, attacks with quantum queries can break some classically secure designs which exhibit a strong algebraic structure (Kuwakado & Morii, ISIT 2010).<br/> Exploiting this structure with classical queries only was the goal of the offline-Simon algorithm of Bonnetain et al. (ASIACRYPT 2019). In the final part of this talk, we will show that this algorithm allows to reach a more than quadratic speedup against some specific block cipher constructions. This is joint work with Xavier Bonnetain and Ferdinand Sibleyras.<br/> lien: https://univ-rennes1-fr.zoom.us/j/97066341266?pwd=RUthOFV5cm1uT0ZCQVh6QUcrb1drQT09

    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[…]
