Description
The security of quantum key distribution protocols is often defined in terms of the information an adversary obtains by measuring his system. Such definitions are fundamentally flawed because of a locking property of the accessible information: Giving the adversary a single bit of information may increase the accessible information by more than one bit. We give examples of keys that are not exposure-resilient and can thus not safely be used for one-time pad encryption, even though they satisfy a measurement-based security definition. In the second part of the talk, we discuss a universally composable security definition for cryptographic keys and show how this stronger type of security can be achieved.<br/> This is joint work with Andor Bariska, Ueli Maurer and Renato Renner.

Key Attack on the ACDGV Matrix Encryption Scheme
Orateur : Anmoal Porwal - Technical University of Munich
I will present our key-recovery attack on the ACDGV public-key encryption scheme proposed at ASIACRYPT 2024 by Aragon, Couvreur, Dyseryn, Gaborit, and Vinçotte. The secret key is a Gabidulin code hidden by appending random rows and columns and by left- and right-multiplication with invertible matrices. Our attack exploits the resulting algebraic structure to recover an equivalent secret key. It[…]-

Module Learning With Errors and Structured Extrapolated Dihedral Cosets
Orateur : Jinwei Zheng - Télécom Paris
The Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem is the fundamental hardness assumption underlying the key encapsulation and signature schemes ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which have been selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography standardization. Understanding its quantum hardness is crucial for assessing the security of these standardized schemes. Inspired by the equivalence between LWE and[…]-
