Description
We present new classical and quantum algorithms for solving random hard instances of the subset-sum problem, in which we are given n integers on n bits and try to find a subset of them that sums to a given target. This classical NP-complete problem has several applications in cryptography and underlies the security of some proposed post-quantum cryptosystems.<br/> At EUROCRYPT 2010, Howgrave-Graham and Joux (HGJ) introduced the representation technique and presented an algorithm running in time $\bigOt{2^{0.337 n}}$. This asymptotic time was improved by Becker, Coron, Joux (BCJ) at EUROCRYPT 2011. We show how to improve this further.<br/> We then move to the context of quantum algorithms. The two previous quantum speedups in the literature are given by Bernstein, Jeffery, Lange and Meurer (PQCRYPTO 2013) and Helm and May (TQC 2018), which are respectively quantum versions of HGJ and BCJ. They both rely on the framework of quantum walks, use exponential quantum memory with quantum random-access and require an unproven conjecture on quantum walk updates. We devise a new algorithm, using quantum search only, that achieves the first quantum speedup in the model of \emph{classical} memory with quantum random access. Next, we study improvements for the quantum walks. We show how to avoid the quantum walk conjecture and give a better quantum walk time complexity for subset-sum.<br/> lien: http://desktop.visio.renater.fr/scopia?ID=725403***3883&autojoin

Adelic reduction of module lattices
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 ---

European Cyber Week: atelier cryptographie post-quantique
Dans la continuité des éditions 2021, 2022 et 2024, la DGA — en partenariat avec CREACH LABS et avec le soutien de l'ANSSI, de l'IRISA, de l'IRMAR et du Pôle d'Excellence Cyber — organise la 4e édition de l'atelier consacré à la cryptographie post-quantique dans le cadre de l'European Cyber Week 2026. Attention, il faut s'inscrire (gratuitement) au préalable — s'inscrire à la conférence Les[…] -
Post-quantum day of the cryptography seminar
A scientific day devoted to post-quantum cryptography, held in the wake of the European Cyber Week, with talks more technical than those presented at the ECW.
