Description
The security of cryptographic systems such as Kyber and Dilithium (currently undergoing standardization by NIST) fundamentally hinges on the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem. However, the state of the art for attacking this problem is not yet entirely clear. Specifically, the validity of dual attacks on LWE is currently under scrutiny due to their analyses relying on heuristics that have proven to be inaccurate. Notably, an assumption of independence introduces an error in the counting of false positives. Nevertheless, there is hope for dual attacks. It is feasible to rectify their analyses to accurately account for false positives, demonstrating that their impact on attack complexity is negligible.

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[…]-
