Description
The use of SAT solvers is enjoying a boom in the area of cryptanalysis. In this presentation we explore the reasons for the efficiency of SAT solvers in this field. The presentation will describe how SAT solvers' variable branching heuristics, conflict analysis routines and lazy data structures work in unison to create a complex algorithm that can tackle difficult problems with relative ease. During the presentation, we give examples to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each component of the final algorithm.

Oblivious Transfer from Zero-Knowledge Proofs (or how to achieve round-optimal quantum Oblivious Transfer without structure)
Speaker : Léo Colisson - Université Grenoble Alpes
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[…]-
