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

Oblivious Transfer from Zero-Knowledge Proofs (or how to achieve round-optimal quantum Oblivious Transfer without structure)
Orateur : Léo Colisson - Université Grenoble Alpes
We provide a generic construction to turn any classical Zero-Knowledge (ZK) protocol into a composable oblivious transfer (OT) protocol (the protocol itself involving quantum interactions), mostly lifting the round-complexity properties and security guarantees (plain-model/statistical security/unstructured functions…) of the ZK protocol to the resulting OT protocol. Such a construction is unlikely[…]-
