Description
Public key cryptography is based on hard problems, such as the discrete logarithm problem (DLP). In this talk, I focus on the discrete logarithm problem in finite fields:<br/> Given GF(q^k) and a generator g of GF(q^k)*, we say that we solve the DLP in GF(q^k) if, for any arbitrary element h in GF(q^k)*, we are able to recover an integer x such that: g^x = h. When the characteristic is small compared to the extension degree, the best complexity that can be achieved is quasipolynomial in log(q^k). I present here a simplified version of this quasipolynomial algorithm that has several advantages:<br/> 1/ I swear it is simple, or at least I will do my best to make it understandable.<br/> 2/ Together with additional ideas, simplifying the original settings permits to decrease the complexity of relation collection, linear algebra and extension phases, that dominate in practice all discrete logarithms computations. Namely, the complexity is reduced from O(q^7) to O(q^6). 3/ With our simplified settings, the complexity achieved in the general case became similar to the complexity known for Kummer (or twisted Kummer) extensions. Thus it permitted to achieve a discrete log computation in GF_(3^(5*497)), that is not only the highest cardinality reached in characteristic 3, but also not a special extension field as previous target fields were.<br/> This is a joint work with Antoine Joux.

Design of fast AES-based Universal Hash Functions and MACs
Orateur : Augustin Bariant - ANSSI
Ultra-fast AES round-based software cryptographic authentication/encryption primitives have recently seen important developments, fuelled by the authenticated encryption competition CAESAR and the prospect of future high-profile applications such as post-5G telecommunication technology security standards. In particular, Universal Hash Functions (UHF) are crucial primitives used as core components[…]-

Lie algebras and the security of cryptosystems based on classical varieties in disguise
Orateur : Mingjie Chen - KU Leuven
In 2006, de Graaf et al. proposed a strategy based on Lie algebras for finding a linear transformation in the projective linear group that connects two linearly equivalent projective varieties defined over the rational numbers. Their method succeeds for several families of “classical” varieties, such as Veronese varieties, which are known to have large automorphism groups. In this talk, we[…]-

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[…] -
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[…]-
