Description
Achieving secure and reliable communication in a wireless network is especially challenging when the end devices are energy constrained. Traditionally, forward error correcting codes (FECs) and encryption have been used to correct errors and provide secrecy respectively, in a tandem system. This conventional approach could be potentially less efficient than a joint system (where both functionalities are combined into a single paradigm). The key question is: can the two operations be combined safely and if so what are the impacts of such a joint construction on both error correction capability as well as security?<br/> In this talk we will show that it is indeed possible to combine error correction and encryption in the specific case of block ciphers. The core of this construction is a new class of maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, which we call high diffusion (HD) codes, that incorporate both a criterion for optimal diffusion as well as a criterion for error correction. We will present the fundamental ideas behind HD codes and discuss the construction of the codes and block ciphers based on these codes. Security and error correction capabilities of the joint system will be discussed. Stream mode construction of the cipher will also be presented along with some simulation results.

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[…] -
Wagner’s Algorithm Provably Runs in Subexponential Time for SIS^∞
Orateur : Johanna Loyer - Inria Saclay
At CRYPTO 2015, Kirchner and Fouque claimed that a carefully tuned variant of the Blum-Kalai-Wasserman (BKW) algorithm (JACM 2003) should solve the Learning with Errors problem (LWE) in slightly subexponential time for modulus q = poly(n) and narrow error distribution, when given enough LWE samples. Taking a modular view, one may regard BKW as a combination of Wagner’s algorithm (CRYPTO 2002), run[…]-

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[…]-

Structured-Seed Local Pseudorandom Generators and their Applications
Orateur : Nikolas Melissaris - IRIF
We introduce structured‑seed local pseudorandom generators (SSL-PRGs), pseudorandom generators whose seed is drawn from an efficiently sampleable, structured distribution rather than uniformly. This seemingly modest relaxation turns out to capture many known applications of local PRGs, yet it can be realized from a broader family of hardness assumptions. Our main technical contribution is a[…]-
