Description
Zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge are useful tools for designing signature schemes. Among the existing techniques, the MPC-in-Head (MPCitH) paradigm provides a generic framework to build quantum-resilient proofs using techniques from secure multiparty computation. This paradigm has recently been improved in a series of works which makes it an effective and versatile tool. In this talk, I will present the recent advances in post-quantum signatures relying on the MPC-in-the-Head. After a general introduction to MPCitH, I will provide an overview of the state of the art that led to the MPCitH-based candidates that have been submitted to the additional NIST call for post-quantum signatures. Then, I will present the Threshold-Computation-in-the-Head (TCitH) framework, based on joint works with Matthieu Rivain. This framework extends common MPC-in-the-Head techniques by using Shamir’s secret sharing (instead of additive sharing) to achieve significant improvements in terms of sizes and timings.

SoK: Security of the Ascon Modes
Orateur : Charlotte Lefevre - Radboud University
The Ascon authenticated encryption scheme and hash function of Dobraunig et al (Journal of Cryptology 2021) were recently selected as winner of the NIST lightweight cryptography competition. The mode underlying Ascon authenticated encryption (Ascon-AE) resembles ideas of SpongeWrap, but not quite, and various works have investigated the generic security of Ascon-AE, all covering different attack[…] -
Comprehensive Modelling of Power Noise via Gaussian Processes with Applications to True Random Number Generators
Orateur : Maciej Skorski - Laboratoire Hubert Curien
The talk examines power noise modelling through Gaussian Processes for secure True Random Number Generators. While revisiting one-sided fractional Brownian motion, we obtain novel contributions by quantifying posterior uncertainty in exact analytical form, establishing quasi-stationary properties, and developing rigorous time-frequency analysis. These results are applied to model oscillator[…]-

CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier
Orateur : Bruno Blanchet - Inria
CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]-
