Description
We consider a generalisation of the encryption from "one-to-one'' to "one-to-many'' communication, i.e. broadcast encryption. The objective is to allow a center to send secret messages to a large number of receivers. The security notion in “one-to-many” communications needs to be extended beyond the notion of confidentiality in “one-to-one” encryption in order to meet practical requirements. Two main functionalities are studied: (1) traitor tracing which identifies the malicious users who leak their secrets to a pirate and (2) revocation which prevents malicious users and/or non-legitimate ones from decrypting broadcasted information.<br/> In the first part of the talk, we focus on combinatorial schemes. We consider the Exclusive Set System (ESS) which has been originally designed to support revocation. We propose a method to integrate the black-box tracing capacity in ESS by introducing a technique called "shadow group testing''.<br/> The second part of the talk discusses the techniques for constructing algebraic schemes which can overcome some limitations of combinatorial schemes. We propose a lattice-based traitor tracing of which the security is based on the hardness of a new variant of the Learning With Errors problem, namely k-LWE (for k traitors). We then prove the hardness of the k-LWE problem which implies that the proposed traitor tracing scheme is asymptotically as efficient as the Regev LWE-based encryption. Our technique can also be used to improve the Boneh-Freeman reduction from SIS to k-SIS from exponential loss to polynomial loss in k (thus answer their open problem of a tighter reduction from SIS to k-SIS). We finally consider the combination of algebraic and combinatorial methods and discuss some promising directions.

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. Il faut suivre d'un coté des posts de blog, des fils dediscussion X[…] -
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[…]-
