Description
HB+ is a well-know authentication scheme purposely designed to be lightweight. However, HB+ is vulnerable to a key-recovery, man-in-the-middle (MiM) attack dubbed GRS. To this end, at WiSec2015, the HB+DB protocol added a distance-bounding dimension to HB+, which was experimentally shown to counteract the GRS attack.In this talk, we will exhibit however a number of security flaws in the HB+DB protocol. Some attacks are authentication-driven, others relate to distance-bounding. What is more, we will show that a small refinement on the GRS-strategy still leads to key-recovery in HB+DB, un-deterred by its distance-bounding dimension. We will also propose a new distance-bounding protocol called BLOG, which is based on HB+DB but which is provably secure, enjoys better (asymptotical) security and is more lightweight.

[CANCELLED] Black-Box Collision Attacks on Widely Deployed Perceptual Hash Functions and Their Consequences
Speaker : Diane Leblanc-Albarel - KU Leuven
[CANCELLED] Perceptual hash functions identify multimedia content by mapping similar inputs to similar outputs. They are widely used for detecting copyright violations and illegal content but lack transparency, as their design details are typically kept secret. Governments are considering extending the application of these functions to Client-Side Scanning (CSS) for end-to-end encrypted services:[…]-

A non-comparison oblivious sort and its application to private k-NN
Speaker : Sofiane Azogagh - UQÀM
Sorting is a fundamental subroutine of many algorithms and as such has been studied for decades. A well-known result is the Lower Bound Theorem, which states that no comparison-based sorting algorithm can do better than O(nlog(n)) in the worst case. However, in the fifties, new sorting algorithms that do not rely on comparisons were introduced such as counting sort, which can run in linear time[…]-
