Privacy-Enhancing Optical Embeddings for Lensless Classification

Martin Vetterli, Eric Bezzam, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Lensless imaging can provide visual privacy due to the highly multiplexed characteristic of its measurements. However, this alone is a weak form of security, as various adversarial attacks can be designed to invert the one-to-many scene mapping of such cam ...

Cryptanalysis of LowMC instances using single plaintext/ciphertext pair

Serge Vaudenay, Subhadeep Banik, Fatma Betül Durak, Khashayar Barooti

Arguably one of the main applications of the LowMC family ciphers is in the post-quantum signature scheme PICNIC. Although LowMC family ciphers have been studied from a cryptanalytic point of view before, none of these studies were directly concerned with ...

Can Caesar Beat Galois?

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár

The Competition for Authenticated Encryption: Security, Applicability and Robustness (CAESAR) has as its official goal to “identify a portfolio of authenticated ciphers that offer advantages over [the Galois-Counter Mode with AES]” and are suitable for wid ...

Breaking The FF3 Format-Preserving Encryption Standard Over Small Domains

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published a Format-Preserving Encryption standard accepting two Feistel structure based schemes called FF1 and FF3. Particularly, FF3 is a tweakable block cipher based on an 8-round Feistel ...

Breaking the FF3 Format Preserving Encryption

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

The NIST standard FF3 scheme (also known as BPS scheme) is a tweakable block cipher based on a 8-round Feistel Network. We break it with a practical attack. Our attack exploits the bad domain separation in FF3 design. The attack works with chosen plaintext ...

On Selection of Samples in Algebraic Attacks and a New Technique to Find Hidden Low Degree Equations

Serge Vaudenay, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Petr Susil

The best way of selecting samples in algebraic attacks against block ciphers is not well explored and understood. We introduce a simple strategy for selecting the plaintexts and demonstrate its strength by breaking reduced-round KATAN, LBLOCK and SIMON. Fo ...

Protecting against Multidimensional Linear and Truncated Differential Cryptanalysis by Decorrelation

Serge Vaudenay

The decorrelation theory provides a different point of view on the security of block cipher primitives. Results on some statistical attacks obtained in this context can support or provide new insight on the security of symmetric cryptographic primitives. I ...

GenoGuard: Protecting Genomic Data Against Brute-Force Attacks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jacques Fellay, Erman Ayday, Zhicong Huang, Ari Juels

Secure storage of genomic data is of great and increasing importance. The scientific community's improving ability to interpret individuals' genetic materials and the growing size of genetic database populations have been aggravating the potential conseque ...

Quantifying Genomic Privacy via Inference Attack with High-Order SNV Correlations

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jacques Fellay, Erman Ayday, Zhicong Huang, Sahel Shariati Samani

As genomic data becomes widely used, the problem of genomic data privacy becomes a hot interdisciplinary research topic among geneticists, bioinformaticians and security and privacy experts. Practical attacks have been identified on genomic data, and thus ...
