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 explain how to extend their Lie algebra method to finite fields, which introduces additional technical difficulties because of the positive characteristic. We show that the method works for Veronese varieties of dimension at least two over finite fields whose characteristic is greater than three and does not divide the dimension plus one.

 

We demonstrate that this leads to polynomial-time attacks against two candidate post-quantum key exchange protocols that are based on disguised Veronese surfaces and threefolds, which were recently proposed by Alzati et al. Furthermore, we provide strong evidence for the vulnerability of a digital signature scheme that relies on secant varieties of Grassmannians of projective lines, although for now this does not amount to a complete attack because the scheme operates over finite fields of characteristic two.

    The Dihedral Coset Problem (DCP), also known as the hidden shift problem, plays a fundamental role in post-quantum public-key cryptography, since the Learning-With-Error problem reduces to DCP. The “Simon meets Kuperberg” quantum algorithm by Bonnetain and Naya-Plasencia solves the DCP in quasi-polynomial time when the modulus is a power of two. We provide a generalization of this algorithm for[…]

    Orateur : Henry Bambury - DGA-MI et Inria Rennes

    We give a strict generalisation of the LLL algorithm over number fields, based on the reduction theory of  $GL(n)$ over the adele ring of a number field. Our algorithm is free of heuristics, with rigorous bounds on output quality and complexity.   -- based on joint work with Seungki Kim, Changmin Lee and Phong Nguyen --

    Nuida et d'autres ont montré comment on peut obtenir un protocole de chiffrement pleinement homomorphe si l'on sait chiffrer les éléments d'un groupe G convenable, tout en sachant faire l'opération de G "en homomorphe".   Les exemples étaient jusqu'à présent limités au chiffrement d'un bit à la fois, avec beaucoup d'opérations à effectuer pour "simuler" les portes logiques usuelles.
