Description
Imagine the government is taking a census, and you as an individual are worried that by participating, private information about you (such as your address, age, ethnicity, etc.) may eventually be revealed when the government publishes the census data. How can the government assure you that by using an appropriate release mechanism that "sanitizes" census data, no individual's privacy will be compromised?<br/> This question has been studied for a long time in the statistics community, and more recently the computer science community has contributed the formal notion of differential privacy, which captures the idea that "no individual's data can have a large effect on the output of the release mechanism". This has been interpreted to mean that individuals should be comfortable revealing their information, since little private information is leaked. In this talk, we first give an introduction to this fast-developing area of research. We then investigate the above interpretation about the guarantees of differential privacy. We argue that the interpretation is incomplete because unless participation in the database somehow explicitly benefits the individuals, they will always refuse to participate regardless of whether the release mechanism is differentially private or not. We then show that by combining differential privacy with the notion of incentives and truthfulness from game theory, one can take (almost) any release mechanism that motivates individuals to participate and modify it so that in addition it satisfies differential privacy.

La crypto-graphie et les crypto-monnaies
Orateur : Daniel Augot - INRIA Saclay—Île-de-France
De nos jours, la requête «crypto» dans un moteur de recherche renvoieaux cryptomonnaies. Mais «crypto means crypto», et on peut se poser laquestion des liens pertinents entre les deux domaines. D'un coté, le monde des cryptomonnaies et de la technologiesous-jacente s'est développé et évolue encore en dehors du mondeacadémique.

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[…]-
