Description
A {\em black-box} secret sharing scheme (BBSSS) for a given access structure works in exactly the same way over any finite Abelian group, as it only requires black-box access to group operations and to random group elements. In particular, there is no dependence on e.g.\ the structure of the group or its order. The expansion factor of a BBSSS is the length of a vector of shares (the number of group elements in it) divided by the number of players $n$.<br/> In 2002 Cramer and Fehr proposed a threshold BBSSS with an asymptotically minimal expansion factor $\Theta(\log n)$. We present a BBSSS that is based on a new paradigm, namely, {\em primitive sets in algebraic number fields}. This leads to a new BBSSS with an expansion factor that is absolutely minimal up to an additive term of at most~2, which is an improvement by a constant additive factor. The construction uses techniques from algebraic number theory as well as algebraic geometry.<br/> We provide good evidence that our scheme is considerably more efficient in terms of the computational resources it requires. Indeed, the number of group operations to be performed is $\tilde{O}(n^2)$ instead of $\tilde{O}(n^3)$ for sharing and $\tilde{O}(n^{1.6})$ instead of $\tilde{O}(n^{2.6})$ for reconstruction. Finally, we show that our scheme, as well as that of Cramer and Fehr, has asymptotically optimal randomness efficiency.<br/> This is talk is based on joint work with Serge Fehr, Hendrik Lenstra, and Martijn Stam. An article with these results appears in the Proceedings of the 25th Annual IACR CRYPTO Conference, 2005.

Design of fast AES-based Universal Hash Functions and MACs
Orateur : 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
Orateur : 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
Orateur : 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
Orateur : 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[…]-
