Description
We present new classical and quantum algorithms for solving random hard instances of the subset-sum problem, in which we are given n integers on n bits and try to find a subset of them that sums to a given target. This classical NP-complete problem has several applications in cryptography and underlies the security of some proposed post-quantum cryptosystems.<br/> At EUROCRYPT 2010, Howgrave-Graham and Joux (HGJ) introduced the representation technique and presented an algorithm running in time $\bigOt{2^{0.337 n}}$. This asymptotic time was improved by Becker, Coron, Joux (BCJ) at EUROCRYPT 2011. We show how to improve this further.<br/> We then move to the context of quantum algorithms. The two previous quantum speedups in the literature are given by Bernstein, Jeffery, Lange and Meurer (PQCRYPTO 2013) and Helm and May (TQC 2018), which are respectively quantum versions of HGJ and BCJ. They both rely on the framework of quantum walks, use exponential quantum memory with quantum random-access and require an unproven conjecture on quantum walk updates. We devise a new algorithm, using quantum search only, that achieves the first quantum speedup in the model of \emph{classical} memory with quantum random access. Next, we study improvements for the quantum walks. We show how to avoid the quantum walk conjecture and give a better quantum walk time complexity for subset-sum.<br/> lien: http://desktop.visio.renater.fr/scopia?ID=725403***3883&autojoin

Key Attack on the ACDGV Matrix Encryption Scheme
Orateur : Anmoal Porwal - Technical University of Munich
I will present our key-recovery attack on the ACDGV public-key encryption scheme proposed at ASIACRYPT 2024 by Aragon, Couvreur, Dyseryn, Gaborit, and Vinçotte. The secret key is a Gabidulin code hidden by appending random rows and columns and by left- and right-multiplication with invertible matrices. Our attack exploits the resulting algebraic structure to recover an equivalent secret key. It[…]-

Module Learning With Errors and Structured Extrapolated Dihedral Cosets
Orateur : Jinwei Zheng - Télécom Paris
The Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem is the fundamental hardness assumption underlying the key encapsulation and signature schemes ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which have been selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography standardization. Understanding its quantum hardness is crucial for assessing the security of these standardized schemes. Inspired by the equivalence between LWE and[…]-
