Description

    Nicolas Aragon

In 2017, the NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) started astandardization process in order to select post-quantum encryption and digital signature schemes. Among the proposed solutions, two rank-metric based encryption schemes were selected for the second round of the standardization process: ROLLOand RQC.
This raised questions about both the performance and the security of the implementations of rank-metric cryptography. While the performance has been significantly improved recently, the question of the resistance to side-channel attacks needs to be studied more deeply.
This talk will present an overview of the existing primitives in rank-based cryptography and the challenges of making a secure implementation of these primitives.

    Embedded programs (including those on smart cards) are often developed in C and then compiled for the embedded processor. Sometimes they are modified by hand to incorporate countermeasures (fault attacks, etc.), but care must be taken to ensure that this does not disrupt normal program execution and that the countermeasure is actually adequate for blocking the attacks.In the process, it is[…]

    The Smart Dust vision seeks to enable large networks of millimeter-scale wireless sensor nodes that tightly integrate sensing, computation, communication, and power management into a single-chip device. Establishing a robust hardware root of trust for such devices remains challenging, particularly in single, low-cost chip manufacturing processes that lack embedded writable Non-Volatile Memory (NVM[…]

    Orateur : Vincent MIGLIORE - LAAS-CNRS

    Hardware microarchitecture is a well-known source of side-channel leakages, providing a notable security reduction of standard cryptographic algorithms (e.g. AES) if not properly addressed by software or hardware. In this talk, we present new design approaches to harden processor's microarchitecture against power-based side-channel attacks, relying on configurable and cascadable building blocks[…]

    Developed in collaboration with the DGA, the Onysis project introduces a European SoC FPGA designed to embed advanced hardware security features. This presentation will provide an overview of the Onysis architecture, focusing specifically on its native mechanisms to protect critical systems. We will detail the implementation of its integrated security subsystem, covering the secure boot sequence[…]
