Description
In November 2004, the European Network of Excellence for Cryptology (ECRYPT) launched a call for new stream cipher primitives. Authors from academia as well as industry submitted 34 designs, and in May 2008, 8 ciphers were chosen for the eSTREAM final portfolio. In this talk, we look back at the history of stream ciphers to understand the design choices made by cryptographers today. We start by reviewing "historical" designs based on linear feedback shift registers, such as the GSM A5/1 cipher. We explain basic cryptanalytic techniques - such as guess-and-determine attacks and correlation attacks - used to break LFSR-based ciphers. We also stop briefly to examine the importance of state size and key/IV length w.r.t. time-memory trade-offs. We then move on to the beginning of 2000s, which brought us new designs from the NESSIE research project, including SNOW 2.0, later to become the 3G mobile standard SNOW 3G. We discuss how new cryptanalytic tools, most notably algebraic cryptanalysis, reshaped design principles in modern ciphers, and review some of the eSTREAM submissions.<br/> In the second part of this talk, we focus on the cryptanalysis of one of the eSTREAM finalists, Moustique. We give a step-by-step overview of our attack that allows to recover the full 96-bit key in 2^{38} steps, using related keys, and allows to speed up exhaustive search in the standard case (without related keys) by a factor 28. Here, we invite the audience to interact, identify weaknesses that lead to the break and propose tweaks to thwart the attack. Cryptanalysis of Moustique is joint work with Vincent Rijmen, Tor E. Bjorstad, Christian Rechberger, Matt Robshaw and Gautham Sekar.

Design of fast AES-based Universal Hash Functions and MACs
Speaker : Augustin Bariant - ANSSI
Ultra-fast AES round-based software cryptographic authentication/encryption primitives have recently seen important developments, fuelled by the authenticated encryption competition CAESAR and the prospect of future high-profile applications such as post-5G telecommunication technology security standards. In particular, Universal Hash Functions (UHF) are crucial primitives used as core components[…]-

Lie algebras and the security of cryptosystems based on classical varieties in disguise
Speaker : Mingjie Chen - KU Leuven
In 2006, de Graaf et al. proposed a strategy based on Lie algebras for finding a linear transformation in the projective linear group that connects two linearly equivalent projective varieties defined over the rational numbers. Their method succeeds for several families of “classical” varieties, such as Veronese varieties, which are known to have large automorphism groups. In this talk, we[…]-

Some applications of linear programming to Dilithium
Speaker : Paco AZEVEDO OLIVEIRA - Thales & UVSQ
Dilithium is a signature algorithm, considered post-quantum, and recently standardized under the name ML-DSA by NIST. Due to its security and performance, it is recommended in most use cases. During this presentation, I will outline the main ideas behind two studies, conducted in collaboration with Andersson Calle-Vierra, Benoît Cogliati, and Louis Goubin, which provide a better understanding of[…] -
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[…]-
