    Jérémy Jean - ANSSI

We present a new tweakable block cipher family SKINNY, whose goal is to compete with NSA recent design SIMON in terms of hardware/software performances, while proving in addition stronger security guarantees with regards to differential/linear attacks.<br/> SKINNY has flexible block/key/tweak sizes and can also benefit from very efficient threshold implementations for side-channels protection. Regarding performances, it outperforms all known ciphers for ASIC round-based implementations and offers very competitive bit-sliced software implementations in CTR mode (as theoretically predicted since SKINNY has the smallest total number of AND/OR/XOR gates used for encryption process).<br/> Additionally, we introduce MANTIS, a dedicated variant of SKINNY for low-latency implementations, that constitutes a very efficient solution to the problem of designing a tweakable block cipher for memory encryption. MANTIS competes with PRINCE in latency and area, while being enhanced with a tweak input.<br/> Joint work with: C. Beierle, S. Kölbl, G. Leander, A. Moradi, T. Peyrin, Y. Sasaki, P. Sasdrich, S.M.

    From secure communications to online banking, cryptography is the cornerstone of most modern secure applications. Unfortunately, cryptographic design and implementation is notoriously error-prone, with a long history of design flaws, implementation bugs, and high-profile attacks. To address this issue, several projects proposed the use of formal verification techniques to statically ensure the[…]

    Speaker : Radu Toma - Sorbonne Université

    In joint work with Koen de Boer, Aurel Page, and Benjamin Wesolowski, we study the hardness of the approximate Shortest Independent Vectors Problem (SIVP) for random module lattices. We use here a natural notion of randomness as defined originally by Siegel through Haar measures. By proving a reduction, we show it is essentially as hard as the problem for arbitrary instances. While this was[…]

    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[…]
