Secure and Efficient Cryptographic Algorithms in a Quantum World

Since the advent of internet and mass communication, two public-key cryptographic algorithms have shared the monopoly of data encryption and authentication: Diffie-Hellman and RSA. However, in the last few years, progress made in quantum physics -- and mo ...

Side-channel analysis of isogeny-based key encapsulation mechanisms and hash-based digital signatures

Aymeric Genet

Current cryptographic solutions will become obsolete with the arrival of large-scale universal quantum computers. As a result, the National Institute of Standards and Technology supervises a post-quantum standardization process which involves evaluating ca ...

On the Theory and Practice of Modern Secure Messaging

Daniel Patrick Collins

Billions of people now have conversations daily over the Internet. A large portion of this communication takes place via secure messaging protocols that offer "end-to-end encryption'" guarantees and resilience to compromise like the widely-used Double Ratc ...

An Ultra-High Throughput AES-Based Authenticated Encryption Scheme for 6G: Design and Implementation

Andrea Felice Caforio, Subhadeep Banik

In this paper, we propose Rocca-S, an authenticated encryption scheme with a 256-bit key and a 256-bit tag targeting 6G applications bootstrapped from AES. Rocca-S achieves an encryption/decryption speed of more than 200 Gbps in the latest software environ ...

COMMUNICATION LOWER BOUNDS AND OPTIMAL ALGORITHMS FOR MULTIPLE TENSOR-TIMES-MATRIX COMPUTATION

Laura Grigori

Multiple tensor-times-matrix (Multi-TTM) is a key computation in algorithms for computing and operating with the Tucker tensor decomposition, which is frequently used in multidimensional data analysis. We establish communication lower bounds that determine ...

Security in the Presence of Quantum Adversaries

Khashayar Barooti

With the looming threat of large-scale quantum computers, a fair portion of recent cryptographic research has focused on examining cryptographic primitives from the perspective of a quantum adversary. Shor's 1994 result revealed that quantum computers can ...

Making Classical (Threshold) Signatures Post-quantum for Single Use on a Public Ledger

Serge Vaudenay, Laurane Chloé Angélina Marco, Abdullah Talayhan

The Bitcoin architecture heavily relies on the ECDSA signature scheme which is broken by quantum adversaries as the secret key can be computed from the public key in quantum polynomial time. To mitigate this attack, bitcoins can be paid to the hash of a pu ...

Public-Key Encryption with Quantum Keys

Khashayar Barooti

In the framework of Impagliazzo's five worlds, a distinction is often made between two worlds, one where public-key encryption exists (Cryptomania), and one in which only one-way functions exist (MiniCrypt). However, the boundaries between these worlds can ...

Untangling the influence of Antarctic and Southern Ocean life on clouds

Julia Schmale, Hélène Paule Angot, Jenny Thomas, Markus Frey

Polar environments are among the fastest changing regions on the planet. It is a crucial time to make significant improvements in our understanding of how ocean and ice biogeochemical processes are linked with the atmosphere. This is especially true over A ...

Bridging the gap between theoretical and practical privacy technologies for at-risk populations

Kasra Edalatnejadkhamene

With the pervasive digitalization of modern life, we benefit from efficient access to information and services. Yet, this digitalization poses severe privacy challenges, especially for special-needs individuals. Beyond being a fundamental human right, priv ...
