Description
Reed-Solomon codes have optimal minimum distance and we know efficient encoding and decoding algorithms of quasi-linear complexity in the length. Their main drawback is that their lengths are bounded by the size of the alphabet, i.e. the field over which they are defined. Algebraic geometry codes are a generalisation allowing longer codes on the same alphabet, and one of the most interesting sub-families of these are the Hermitian codes. The price for the greater length is more complicated computations: so far, no decoding algorithm with sub-quadratic complexity in the length of the code was known. We show how to achieve this by building the decoder around the problem of finding a short vector in an F[x]-module, and performing this step using state-of-the-art algorithms from computer algebra. This approach follows recent trends in decoding of Reed-Solomon codes. Furthermore, our decoder is a "Power decoder", probabilistically capable of decoding errors beyond half-the-minimum distance for low-rate codes.

Encryption homomorphe sans bruit à l'aide de groupes
Orateur : Pierre Guillot - Ravel Technologies (dispo Université de Strasbourg, IRMA)
Je vais rappeler les travaux de Nuida et Ostrovski sur l'utilisation des groupes pour l'élaboration de schémas cryptographiques homomorphes. Je vais présenter nos travaux qui fournissent des encodages à la fois plus efficaces et plus généraux, et qui déterminent exactement quels groupes peuvent être utilisés. Puis je vais discuter GRAFHEN, un protocole qui utilise ces idées. Je dirai juste[…]-

MIKE: An efficient and compact NIKE Based on a Commutative Monoidal Action
Orateur : Jonathan Komada Eriksen - COSIC, KU Leuven
Robert recently described a powerful correspondence between certain (Hermitian) modules and (polarized) abelian varieties, which simultaneously generalizes both the class-group action underlying protocols such as CSIDH, and the Deuring correspondence, underlying protocols such as SQIsign. Using this correspondence, he also proposed how to construct a post-quantum NIKE, called MIKE, which, at a[…]-
