Description
Lyubashevsky’s signatures are based on the Fiat-Shamir with aborts paradigm, whose central ingredient is the use of rejection sampling to transform (secret-key-dependent) signature samples into samples from a secret-key-independent distribution. The choice of these two underly- ing distributions is part of the rejection sampling strategy, and various instantiations have been considered up to this day. In this work, we inves- tigate which strategy leads to the most compact signatures, given signing runtime requirements. Our main contributions are as follows:<br/> (i) We prove lower bounds for compactness of signatures given signing runtime requirements, and (ii) show that these lower bounds are reached considering a new and elementary choice of distributions, namely con- tinuous uniform distributions over hyperballs. (iii) We also prove that, for any fixed pair of distributions, classic rejection sampling is the best strategy for minimizing the number of aborts, as well as (iv) propose a novel strategy that allows to fix (any) bound on the number of aborts while still guaranteeing correctness and security.<br/> lien: https://univ-rennes1-fr.zoom.us/j/97066341266?pwd=RUthOFV5cm1uT0ZCQVh6QUcrb1drQT09

Verification of Rust Cryptographic Implementations with Aeneas
Orateur : Aymeric Fromherz - Inria
From secure communications to online banking, cryptography is the cornerstone of most modern secure applications. Unfortunately, cryptographic design and implementation is notoriously error-prone, with a long history of design flaws, implementation bugs, and high-profile attacks. To address this issue, several projects proposed the use of formal verification techniques to statically ensure the[…] -
On the average hardness of SIVP for module lattices of fixed rank
Orateur : Radu Toma - Sorbonne Université
In joint work with Koen de Boer, Aurel Page, and Benjamin Wesolowski, we study the hardness of the approximate Shortest Independent Vectors Problem (SIVP) for random module lattices. We use here a natural notion of randomness as defined originally by Siegel through Haar measures. By proving a reduction, we show it is essentially as hard as the problem for arbitrary instances. While this was[…] -
Endomorphisms via Splittings
Orateur : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation
One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]-
