Description
A family of subsets is r-cover-free, if no set is covered by the union of r others. These families were introduced in coding theory by Kautz and Singleton (disjunctive codes, superimposed codes) in early sixties.<br/> Variants of these codes were later investigated by Erdos, Frankl and Furedi, Alon and Asodi, Szegedy and Vishvanathan, just to mention a few. These codes are useful in circuit complexity, mobile computing, in the theory of multiple access channels and many other branches of mathematics and computer science. Moreover, they led to the first counter-example for an old conjecture of Grunbaum on point sets in R^n without obtuse triangles.<br/> In this talk we will discuss old and new results on bounds of these codes and their relevance in computer science and pure mathematics.

Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction
Orateur : Paola de Perthuis - CWI
Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as `Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens[…]-

Attacking the Supersingular Isogeny Problem: From the Delfs–Galbraith algorithm to oriented graphs
Orateur : Arthur Herlédan Le Merdy - COSIC, KU Leuven
The threat of quantum computers motivates the introduction of new hard problems for cryptography.One promising candidate is the Isogeny problem: given two elliptic curves, compute a “nice’’ map between them, called an isogeny.In this talk, we study classical attacks on this problem, specialised to supersingular elliptic curves, on which the security of current isogeny-based cryptography relies. In[…]-
