Description
NIST’s post-quantum cryptography competition has entered in its second phase, the time has come to focus more closely on practical aspects of the candidates. On the lattice-based side, certain schemes chose to implement discrete Gaussian distributions which allow better parameters and security reductions. However, this advantage has also proved to be their Achilles’ heel, as discrete Gaussians pose serious challenges in terms of protection against timing attacks. In this talk, I will review the different timing weaknesses and present several constant-time techniques including a new approach to polynomially approximate transcendental functions (https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/511.pdf). I will emphasis on the application of these techniques on BLISS and FALCON signature schemes (https://tprest.github.io/pdf/pub/simple-fast-gaussian.pdf). We will see that the efficiency loss in the resulting implementations is reasonably low compared to the non constant-time.<br/> lien: http://desktop.visio.renater.fr/scopia?ID=729028***8178&autojoin

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[…] -
Wagner’s Algorithm Provably Runs in Subexponential Time for SIS^∞
Orateur : Johanna Loyer - Inria Saclay
At CRYPTO 2015, Kirchner and Fouque claimed that a carefully tuned variant of the Blum-Kalai-Wasserman (BKW) algorithm (JACM 2003) should solve the Learning with Errors problem (LWE) in slightly subexponential time for modulus q = poly(n) and narrow error distribution, when given enough LWE samples. Taking a modular view, one may regard BKW as a combination of Wagner’s algorithm (CRYPTO 2002), run[…]-

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[…]-

Structured-Seed Local Pseudorandom Generators and their Applications
Orateur : Nikolas Melissaris - IRIF
We introduce structured‑seed local pseudorandom generators (SSL-PRGs), pseudorandom generators whose seed is drawn from an efficiently sampleable, structured distribution rather than uniformly. This seemingly modest relaxation turns out to capture many known applications of local PRGs, yet it can be realized from a broader family of hardness assumptions. Our main technical contribution is a[…]-
