Description
The generation of prime numbers underlies the use of most public-key cryptosystems, essentially as a primitive needed for the creation of RSA key pairs. Surprisingly enough, despite decades of intense mathematical studies on primality testing and an observed progressive intensification of cryptography, prime number generation algorithms remain scarcely investigated and most real-life implementations are of dramatically poor performance.<br/> We show simple techniques that substantially improve all algorithms previously suggested or extend their capabilities. We derive fast implementations on appropriately equipped portable devices like smart-cards embedding a cryptographic coprocessor. This allows onboard generation of RSA keys featuring a very attractive (average) processing time.<br/> Our motivation here is to help transferring this task from terminals where this operation usually took place so far, to portable devices themselves in near future for more confidence, security, and compliance with network-scaled distributed protocols such as electronic cash or mobile commerce.

La crypto-graphie et les crypto-monnaies
Orateur : Daniel Augot - INRIA Saclay—Île-de-France
De nos jours, la requête «crypto» dans un moteur de recherche renvoieaux cryptomonnaies. Mais «crypto means crypto», et on peut se poser laquestion des liens pertinents entre les deux domaines. D'un coté, le monde des cryptomonnaies et de la technologiesous-jacente s'est développé et évolue encore en dehors du mondeacadémique. Il faut suivre d'un coté des posts de blog, des fils dediscussion X[…] -
SoK: Security of the Ascon Modes
Orateur : Charlotte Lefevre - Radboud University
The Ascon authenticated encryption scheme and hash function of Dobraunig et al (Journal of Cryptology 2021) were recently selected as winner of the NIST lightweight cryptography competition. The mode underlying Ascon authenticated encryption (Ascon-AE) resembles ideas of SpongeWrap, but not quite, and various works have investigated the generic security of Ascon-AE, all covering different attack[…] -
Comprehensive Modelling of Power Noise via Gaussian Processes with Applications to True Random Number Generators
Orateur : Maciej Skorski - Laboratoire Hubert Curien
The talk examines power noise modelling through Gaussian Processes for secure True Random Number Generators. While revisiting one-sided fractional Brownian motion, we obtain novel contributions by quantifying posterior uncertainty in exact analytical form, establishing quasi-stationary properties, and developing rigorous time-frequency analysis. These results are applied to model oscillator[…]-

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[…]-
