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.

!!! Reporté !!! Encryption homomorphe sans bruit à l'aide de groupes
Orateur : Pierre Guillot - Ravel Technologies (dispo Université de Strasbourg, IRMA)
Je vais rappeler les travaux de Nuida et Ostrovski sur l'utilisation des groupes pour l'élaboration de schémas cryptographiques homomorphes. Je vais présenter nos travaux qui fournissent des encodages à la fois plus efficaces et plus généraux, et qui déterminent exactement quels groupes peuvent être utilisés. Puis je vais discuter GRAFHEN, un protocole qui utilise ces idées. Je dirai juste[…]-

MIKE: An efficient and compact NIKE Based on a Commutative Monoidal Action
Orateur : Jonathan Komada Eriksen - COSIC, KU Leuven
Robert recently described a powerful correspondence between certain (Hermitian) modules and (polarized) abelian varieties, which simultaneously generalizes both the class-group action underlying protocols such as CSIDH, and the Deuring correspondence, underlying protocols such as SQIsign. Using this correspondence, he also proposed how to construct a post-quantum NIKE, called MIKE, which, at a[…]-
