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 ...

On IND-qCCA security in the ROM and its applications CPA security is sufficient for TLS 1.3

Serge Vaudenay, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan

Bounded IND-CCA security (IND-qCCA) is a notion similar to the traditional IND-CCA security, except the adversary is restricted to a constant number q of decryption/decapsulation queries. We show in this work that IND-qCCA is easily obtained from any passi ...

FO-like Combiners and Hybrid Post-Quantum Cryptography

Serge Vaudenay, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan

Combining several primitives together to offer greater security is an old idea in cryptography. Recently, this concept has resurfaced as it could be used to improve trust in new Post-Quantum (PQ) schemes and smooth the transition to PQ cryptography. In par ...

Classical 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 ...

BioLocker: A Practical Biometric Authentication Mechanism based on 3D Fingervein

Serge Vaudenay, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan, Fatma Betül Durak

We design a consecution of protocols which allows organizations to have secure strong access control of their users to their desktop machines based on biometry. It provides both strong secure authentication and privacy. Moreover, our mechanism allows the s ...

Misuse Attacks on Post-quantum Cryptosystems

Serge Vaudenay, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan, Ciprian Baetu, Fatma Betül Durak, Abdullah Talayhan

Many post-quantum cryptosystems which have been proposed in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NISI) standardization process follow the same meta-algorithm, but in different algebras or different encoding methods. They usually propose two ...
