PAE: Towards More Efficient and BBB-Secure AE from a Single Public Permutation
Four recent trends have emerged in the evolution of authenticated encryption schemes: (1) Regarding simplicity, the adoption of public permutations as primitives allows for sparing a key schedule and the need for storing round keys; (2) using the sums of p ...
Springer2023BBB security for 5-round even-Mansour-based key-alternating Feistel ciphers
In this paper, we study the security of the Key-Alternating Feistel (KAF) ciphers, a class of key alternating ciphers with the Feistel structure, where each round of the cipher is instantiated with n-bit public round permutation Pi\documentclass[12pt]{mini ...
SPRINGER2023Attacks on some post-quantum cryptographic protocols: The case of the Legendre PRF and SIKE
Post-quantum cryptography is a branch of cryptography which deals with cryptographic algorithms whose hardness assumptions are not based on problems known to be solvable by a quantum computer, such as the RSA problem, factoring or discrete logarithms.This ...
EPFL2022Optimal Symmetric Ratcheting for Secure Communication
Serge Vaudenay, Andrea Felice Caforio, Daniel Patrick Collins, Hailun Yan
To mitigate state exposure threats to long-lived instant messaging sessions, ratcheting was introduced, which is used in practice in protocols like Signal. However, existing ratcheting protocols generally come with a high cost. Recently, Caforio et al. pro ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Horizontal side-channel full key recovery on ephemeral SIKE
Natacha Yolande Emmanuel Marie Linard de Guertechin, Aymeric Genet, Novak Kaluderovic
This paper describes the first practical single-trace side-channel power analysis of SIKE. The attack exploits the nature of elliptic curve point addition formulas which require the same function to be executed multiple times. We target the three point lad ...
2021Secrecy by Design With Applications to Privacy and Compression
Secrecy by design is examined as an approach to information-theoretic secrecy. The main idea behind this approach is to design an information processing system from the ground up to be perfectly secure with respect to an explicit secrecy constraint. The pr ...
2021A Simpler and Faster NIC Driver Model for Network Functions
George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli
The advent of software network functions calls for stronger correctness guarantees and higher performance at every level of the stack. Current network stacks trade simplicity for performance and flexibility, especially in their driver model. We show that p ...
2021Tweaking Key-Alternating Feistel Block Ciphers
Tweakable block cipher as a cryptographic primitive has found wide applications in disk encryption, authenticated encryption mode and message authentication code, etc. One popular approach of designing tweakable block ciphers is to tweak the generic constr ...
Springer, Cham2020Classical Misuse Attacks on NIST Round 2 PQC: The Power of Rank-Based Schemes
Serge Vaudenay, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently announced the public-key cryptosystems (PKC) that have passed to the second round of the post-quantum standardization process. Most of these PKC come in two flavours: a weak IND-CPA vers ...
Springer, Cham2020SMoTherSpectre: Exploiting Speculative Execution through Port Contention
Babak Falsafi, Mathias Josef Payer, Atri Bhattacharyya
Spectre, Meltdown, and related attacks have demonstrated that kernels, hypervisors, trusted execution environments, and browsers are prone to information disclosure through micro-architectural weaknesses. However, it remains unclear as to what extent other ...
