    Should I trust or should I go? A deep dive into the (not so reliable) web PKI trust model

    • December 19, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Room Markov

    Speaker : Romain Laborde - University of Toulouse

    The padlock shown in the URL bar of our favorite web browser indicates that we are connected using a secure HTTPS connection and providing some sense of security. Unfortunately, the reality is slightly more complex. The trust model of the underlying Web PKI is invalid, making TLS a colossus with feet of clay. In this talk, we will dive into the trust model of the web PKI ecosystem to understand[…]

    Hardware-Software Co-Designs for Microarchitectural Security

    • December 11, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Room Petri/Turing

    Speaker : Lesly-Ann Daniel - EURECOM

    Microarchitectural optimizations, such as caches and speculative out-of-order execution, are essential for achieving high performance. However, these same mechanisms also open the door to attacks that can undermine software-enforced security policies. The current gold standard for defending against such attacks is the constant-time programming discipline, which prohibits secret-dependent control[…]

    Vers l’émergence d’un droit européen pour la Blockchain : Une approche sous l’angle de la Privacy et de l’encadrement des crypto-actifs

    • December 05, 2025 (10:00 - 11:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Aurigny room

    Speaker : Damien Franchi - Univ Rennes, IODE

    La Blockchain, technologie derrière Bitcoin, fait l’objet d’un encadrement juridique de plusen plus important, en particulier de la part de l’Union européenne. Curieusement, le mot« Blockchain » n’apparaît pas dans les textes l’encadrant. Les expressions « technologie deregistres distribués » (Distributed ledger technology, DLT), ou, parfois, « registreélectronique » lui sont plutôt privilégiées.[…]

    Blockchain and digital currencies: between European regulation and technological challenges

    • December 05, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Aurigny room

    Speaker : Loïc Miller - CentraleSupélec

    As the European Union develops a legal framework for crypto-assets and data protection, the technological question underlying the emergence of a genuine digital currency remains open. Blockchain today stands as an interdisciplinary field of study at the crossroads of computer science, economics, and law. This presentation will place the ongoing regulatory framework in perspective with the[…]

    Post-Quantum Public-Key Pseudorandom Correlation Functions for OT

    • December 12, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • Salle Guernesey à l'ISTIC

    Speaker : Mahshid Riahinia - ENS, CNRS

    Public-Key Pseudorandom Correlation Functions (PK-PCF) are an exciting recent primitive introduced to enable fast secure computation. Despite significant advances in the group-based setting, success in the post-quantum regime has been much more limited. In this talk, I will introduce an efficient lattice-based PK-PCF for the string OT correlation. At the heart of our result lie several technical[…]

    What you never wanted to know about vulnerability databases

    • November 21, 2025 (10:00 - 11:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Room Métivier

    Speaker : Henrik Plate - Endor Labs

    Vulnerability databases play a crucial role in modern software security, serving as the backbone for Application Security (AppSec) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools. However, the accuracy and reliability of these databases vary significantly, often leading to misinformed security decisions. This talk explores the challenges associated with vulnerability databases, including incomplete[…]
