    François-Xavier Standaert - Université Catholique de Louvain

In this talk, I will describe the family of authenticated encryption (with associated data) algorithms SCREAM and iSCREAM. They are based on Liskov et al.'s Tweakable Authenticated Encryption (TAE) mode with the new tweakable block ciphers Scream and iScream. The main desirable features of SCREAM and iSCREAM are:<br/> * A simple and regular design allowing excellent performances on a wide range of architectures, in particular if masking is implemented as a side-channel countermeasure;<br/> * Inheriting from TAE, security beyond the birthday bound, i.e. a 128-bit security guarantee with up to 2128 bits of data processed with the same 128-bit key;<br/> * Low overheads for the authentication mode (e.g. no extra cipher calls to generate masks);<br/> * Fully parallelisable authenticated encryption with minimal ciphertext length.<br/> In addition, iSCREAM allows compact implementations for combined encryption and decryption, by taking advantage of involutive components in its underlying cipher iScream.

    The problem of finding a minimal circuit to implement a given function is one of the oldest in electronics. In cryptography, the focus is on small functions, especially on S-boxes which are classically the only non-linear functions in iterated block ciphers. In this work, we propose new ad-hoc automatic tools to look for lightweight implementations of non-linear functions on up to 5 variables for[…]

    Speaker : Marc Houben - Inria Bordeaux

    At the historical foundation of isogeny-based cryptography lies a scheme known as CRS; a key exchange protocol based on class group actions on elliptic curves. Along with more efficient variants, such as CSIDH, this framework has emerged as a powerful building block for the construction of advanced post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, all protocols in this line of work are[…]

    Speaker : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation

    One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]
