Description

  • Speaker

    Adi Shamir - Weizmann Institute of Science

In this talk I will introduce a new kind of attack on cryptosystems which can be represented by an (unknown) low degree polynomial with tweakable public variables such as a plaintext or IV and fixed secret variables such as a key. Its complexity is exponential in the degree but only polynomial in the key size, and it was successfully applied to several concrete schemes. In particular, for Trivium with 672 initialization rounds, it reduces the complexity of the best known attack from a barely practical 2^{55} to a trivial 2^{19}, which can recover the full key in less than a second on a single PC.

    Speaker : 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 --
