Description
Cryptographic algorithms are primarily designed to be secure in the black-box model, where an attacker can only observe their input/output behavior. However in practice, algorithms are rarely executed in a completely isolated environment and additional information is often leaked. In the context of mobile applications or connected objects, devices often lack secure storage to protect secret keys, and their generally open execution environment exposes a large attack surface. This hostile environment is captured by the white-box attack model. While many white-box implementation of block ciphers have been published since 2002, asymmetric cryptosystems have been very little studied. In my PhD thesis, we got interested in white-box implementations of ECDSA. This led us to participate in the WhibOx Contest that was organized as part of the TCHES workshops in 2021. During three months, developpers were invited to submit ECDSA white-box implementations and attackers to try to break them. In this talk, I will introduce the white-box model before explaining the specificities of the ECDSA algorithm in this context. I will then present the different attacks that we used to break almost all the challenges of the WhibOx Contest.

Dual attacks in code-based (and lattice-based) cryptography
Orateur : Charles Meyer-Hilfiger - Inria Rennes
The hardness of the decoding problem and its generalization, the learning with errors problem, are respectively at the heart of the security of the Post-Quantum code-based scheme HQC and the lattice-based scheme Kyber. Both schemes are to be/now NIST standards. These problems have been actively studied for decades, and the complexity of the state-of-the-art algorithms to solve them is crucially[…]-

Design of fast AES-based Universal Hash Functions and MACs
Orateur : Augustin Bariant - ANSSI
Ultra-fast AES round-based software cryptographic authentication/encryption primitives have recently seen important developments, fuelled by the authenticated encryption competition CAESAR and the prospect of future high-profile applications such as post-5G telecommunication technology security standards. In particular, Universal Hash Functions (UHF) are crucial primitives used as core components[…]-

Lie algebras and the security of cryptosystems based on classical varieties in disguise
Orateur : Mingjie Chen - KU Leuven
In 2006, de Graaf et al. proposed a strategy based on Lie algebras for finding a linear transformation in the projective linear group that connects two linearly equivalent projective varieties defined over the rational numbers. Their method succeeds for several families of “classical” varieties, such as Veronese varieties, which are known to have large automorphism groups. In this talk, we[…]-

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[…]
