Description
Security in embedded systems requires the choice of a suitable implementation platform. For some systems, a general purpose microprocessor satisfies the requirements, but when high performance is the main criterium, cryptographic coprocessors in hardware are indispensable. When very high performance is required or when a high volume of coprocessors is needed, ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) are chosen as implementation platforms. In this case, the reconfigurability of FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) is only used for prototyping. However, because of the efforts of FPGA manufacturing companies, the performance gap between ASICs and FPGAs becomes smaller and smaller. FPGAs have become heterogeneous systems with a variety of dedicated resources such as multiplier blocks, DSP slices, RAM blocks,... This explains the trend that FPGAs are more and more used as end products. Following this trend, the need for specific FPGA architectures can be justified. This presentation focuses on cryptographic coprocessor design, optimized for FPGAs.

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[…]-
