Since 2015, there has been a significant decrease in the asymptotic complexity of computing discrete logarithms in finite fields. As a result, the key sizes of many mainstream pairing-friendly curves have to be updated to maintain the desired security level. In PKC'20, Guillevic conducted a comprehensive assessment of the security of a series of pairing-friendly curves with embedding degrees ranging from $9$ to $17$. In this paper, we focus on pairing-friendly curves with embedding degrees of 10 and 14. First, we extend the optimized formula of the optimal pairing on BW13-310, a 128-bit secure curve with a prime $p$ in 310 bits and embedding degree $13$, to our target curves. This generalization allows us to compute the optimal pairing in approximately $\log r/2\varphi(k)$ Miller iterations, where $r$ and $k$ are the order of pairing groups and the embedding degree respectively. Second, we develop optimized algorithms for cofactor multiplication for $\mathbb{G}_1$ and $\mathbb{G}_2$, as well as subgroup membership testing for $\mathbb{G}_2$ on these curves. Based on these theoretical results a new 128-bit secure curve emerges: BW14-351. Finally, we provide detailed performance comparisons between BW14-351 and other popular curves on a 64-bit platform in terms of pairing computation, hashing to $\mathbb{G}_1$ and $\mathbb{G}_2$, group exponentiations and subgroup membership testings. Our results demonstrate that BW14-351 is a strong candidate for building pairing-based cryptographic protocols.

In this paper, we show a new set of cryptographic primitives that generically leads to chosen ciphertext secure (CCA secure) public-key encryption (PKE). Specifically, we show how a (non-interactive, publicly verifiable) batch argument (BARG) for NP can be combined with a chosen plaintext secure PKE scheme to achieve a CCA secure one. The requirement of the succinctness of the proof size of a BARG in our result is rather mild: The proof size is $O(k^{\epsilon})$ for some non-negative constant $\epsilon < 1$ when the correctness of $k$ statements is simultaneously proved.

In this paper we propose a new hash-and-sign digital signature scheme whose security against existential forgery under adaptive chosen message attack is based on the hardness of full-distance syndrome decoding. We propose parameter sets for three security levels (128-bits, 192-bits, and 256-bits) based on concrete estimations for hardness of the syndrome decoding problem and estimate the corresponding sizes of the keys and the signature for each level. The scheme has large public and private keys but very small signatures.

We optimize the number-theoretic transforms (NTTs) in Dilithium — a digital signature scheme recently standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) — on Cortex-M3 and 8-bit AVR. The core novelty is the exploration of micro-architectural insights for modular multiplications. Recent work [Becker, Hwang, Kannwischer, Yang and Yang, Volume 2022 (1), Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems, 2022] found a correspondence between Montgomery and Barrett multiplications by relating modular reductions to integer approximations and demonstrated that Barrett multiplication is more favorable than Montgomery multiplication by absorbing the subtraction to the low multiplication. We first point out the benefit of Barrett multiplication when long and high multiplication instructions are unavailable, unusable, or slow. We then generalize the notion of integer approximations and improve the emulation of high multiplications used in Barrett multiplication.

Compared to the state-of-the-art assembly-optimized implementations on Cortex-M3, our constant-time NTT/iNTT are 1.38−1.51 times faster and our variable-time NTT/iNTT are 1.10−1.21 times faster. On our 8-bit AVR, we outperform Montgomery-based C implementations of NTT/iNTT by 6.37−7.27 times by simply switching to the proposed Barrett-based implementation. We additionally implement Barrett-based NTT/iNTT in assembly and obtain 14.10− 14.42 times faster code.

For the overall scheme, we provide speed-optimized implementations for Dilithium parameter sets dilithium2 and dilithium3 on Cortex-M3, and stack-optimized implementations for all parameter sets on Cortex-M3 and 8-bit AVR. We briefly compare the performance of speed-optimized dilithium3. Compared to the state-of-the-art assembly implementation on Cortex-M3, our assembly implementation reduces the key generation, signature generation, and signature verification cycles by 2.30%, 23.29%, and 0.69%. In the 8-bit AVR environment, our Barrett-based C implementation reduces the key generation, signature generation, and signature verification cycles by 45.09%, 56.80%, and 50.40%, respectively, and our assembly-optimized implementation reduces the cycles of each operation by 48.85%, 61.70%, and 55.08%, respectively.

In a recent ePrint, Brown and Monico propose new attacks on the tropical signature scheme of Chen, Grigoriev and Shpilrain. This note provides a new countermeasures against those attacks. Thereby, we (temporarily?) shift the fire from the signature algorithm to redirect attacks on the key and on tropical polynomial factorization.

The semidirect discrete logarithm problem (SDLP) is the following analogue of the standard discrete logarithm problem in the semidirect product semigroup $G\rtimes \mathrm{End}(G)$ for a finite semigroup $G$. Given $g\in G, \sigma\in \mathrm{End}(G)$, and $h=\prod_{i=0}^{t-1}\sigma^i(g)$ for some integer $t$, the SDLP$(G,\sigma)$, for $g$ and $h$, asks to determine $t$. As Shor's algorithm crucially depends on commutativity, it is believed not to be applicable to the SDLP. Previously, the best known algorithm for the SDLP was based on Kuperberg's subexponential time quantum algorithm. Still, the problem plays a central role in the security of certain proposed cryptosystems in the family of $\textit{semidirect product key exchange}$. This includes a recently proposed signature protocol called SPDH-Sign. In this paper, we show that the SDLP is even easier in some important special cases. Specifically, for a finite group $G$, we describe quantum algorithms for the SDLP in $G\rtimes \mathrm{Aut}(G)$ for the following two classes of instances: the first one is when $G$ is solvable and the second is when $G$ is a matrix group and a power of $\sigma$ with a polynomially small exponent is an inner automorphism of $G$. We further extend the results to groups composed of factors from these classes. A consequence is that SPDH-Sign and similar cryptosystems whose security assumption is based on the presumed hardness of the SDLP in the cases described above are insecure against quantum attacks. The quantum ingredients we rely on are not new: these are Shor's factoring and discrete logarithm algorithms and well-known generalizations.

This paper reviews common attacks in classical cryptography and plausible attacks in the post-quantum era targeted at CRYSTALS-Kyber. Kyber is a recently standardized post-quantum cryptography scheme that relies on the hardness of lattice problems. Although it has undergone rigorous testing by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), there have recently been studies that have successfully executed attacks against Kyber while showing their applicability outside of controlled settings. These include, but are not limited to, fault injections and side-channel attacks. This paper will discuss the effectiveness and details of common attacks, side-channel attacks, side-channel assisted chosen-ciphertext attacks, and fault-injection attacks, as well as possible defenses and their applicability against these attacks on Kyber. This paper aims to provide future researchers insight into what areas should be focused on to strengthen current as well as future cryptosystems. Some attacks discussed include chosen power analysis, timing attacks, primal and dual attacks on the underlying learning-with-errors problem, fault injections, and electromagnetic attacks.

While many modern cryptographic primitives have stood the test of time, attacker have already begun to expand their attacks beyond classical cryptanalysis by specifically targeting implementations. One of the most well-documented classes of such attacks are subversion (or substitution) attacks, where the attacker replaces the Implementation of the cryptographic primitive in an undetectable way such that the subverted implementation leaks sensitive information of the user during a protocol execution. The revelations of Snowden have shown that this is not only a dangerous theoretical attack, but an attack deployed by intelligence services. Several possible solutions for protection against these attacks are proposed in current literature. Among the most widely studied ones are cryptographic reverse firewalls that aim to actively remove the covert channel leaking the secret. While different protocols supporting such firewalls have been proposed, they do no guarantee security in the presence of concurrent runs. This situation was resolved by a recent work of Chakraborty et al. (EUROCRYPT 2022) that presented the first UC-model of such firewalls. Their model allows to provide security if a subverted party uses an honest firewall. However, using such a firewall also provides a possible new target for the attacker and in the case that an honest party uses a corrupted firewall, they were not able to prove any security guarantees. Furthermore, their model is quite complex and does not fit into the plain UC model. Hence, the authors needed to reprove fundamental theorems such as the composition theorem. Finally, the high complexity of their model also makes designing corresponding protocols a challenging task, as one also needs to reprove the security of the underlying protocol.

In this paper, we present a simpler model capturing cryptographic reverse firewalls in the plain UC model. The simplicity of our model allows to also reason about corrupted firewalls and still maintain strong security guarantees. Furthermore, we resolve the open question by Chakraborty et al. (EUROCRYPT 2022) and by Chakraborty et al. (EUROCRYPT 2023) and present the first direct UC-secure oblivious transfer protocol along with a cryptographic reverse firewall.

We design and implement GigaDORAM, a novel 3-server Distributed Oblivious Random Access Memory (DORAM) protocol. Oblivious RAM allows a client to read and write to memory on an untrusted server while ensuring the server itself learns nothing about the client's access pattern. Distributed Oblivious RAM (DORAM) allows a group of servers to efficiently access a secret-shared array at a secret-shared index.

A recent generation of DORAM implementations (e.g. FLORAM, DuORAM) has focused on building DORAM protocols based on Function Secret-Sharing (FSS). These protocols have low communication complexity and low round complexity but linear computational complexity of the servers. Thus, they work for moderate-size databases, but at a certain size, these FSS-based protocols become computationally inefficient.

In this work, we introduce GigaDORAM, a hierarchical-solution-based DORAM featuring poly-logarithmic computation and communication, but with an over $100\times$ reduction in rounds per query compared to previous hierarchical DORAM protocols. In our implementation, we show that for moderate to large databases where FSS-based solutions become computation-bound, our protocol is orders of magnitude more efficient than the best existing DORAM protocols. When $N = 2^{31}$, our DORAM is able to perform over 700 queries per second.

Homomorphic encryption (HE) enables computation on encrypted data, which in turn facilitates the outsourcing of computation on private data. However, HE offers no guarantee that the returned result was honestly computed by the cloud. In order to have such guarantee, it is necessary to add verifiable computation (VC) into the system.

The most efficient recent works in VC over HE focus on verifying operations on the ciphertext space of the HE scheme, which usually lacks the algebraic structure that would make it compatible with existing VC systems. For example, multiplication of ciphertexts in the current most efficient HE schemes requires non-algebraic operations such as real division and rounding. Therefore, existing works for VC over HE have to either give up on those efficient HE schemes, or incur a large overhead (an amount of constraints proportional to the ciphertext ring's size) in order to emulate these non-algebraic operations.

In this work, we move away from that paradigm by placing the verification checks in the plaintext space of HE, all while the prover remains computing on ciphertexts. We achieve this by introducing a general transformation for Interactive Oracle Proofs (IOPs) to work over HE, whose result we denote as HE-IOPs. We apply this same transformation to the FRI [Ben-Sasson et al., ICALP 2018] IOP of proximity and we show how to compile HE-Reed Solomon-encoded IOPs and HE-$\delta$-correlated-IOPs with HE-FRI into HE-IOPs.

Furthermore, our construction is compatible with a prover that provides input in zero-knowledge, and only relies on building blocks that are plausibly quantum-safe.

Aligning the security parameters of HE and FRI is a difficult task for which we introduce several optimizations. We demonstrate their efficiency with a proof-of-concept implementation in Python and show that, for an encrypted Reed Solomon codeword with degree bound $2^{11}$ and rate $1/16$ in a (plaintext) field of size $2^{256}$, we can run FRI's commit phase in just 43 minutes on a single thread on a c6i.metal instance (which could be reduced to less than a minute in a multi-threaded implementation in a large server). Verification takes less than 0.2 seconds, and, based on micro-benchmarks of the employed techniques, we show it could be up to 100 times faster in a fully optimized implementation.

Anonymous Zether, proposed by Bunz et al. (FC, 2020) and subsequently improved by Diamond (IEEE S&P, 2021) is an account-based confidential payment mechanism that works by using a smart contract to achieve privacy (i.e. identity of receivers to transactions and payloads are hidden). In this work, we look at simplifying the existing protocol while also achieving batching of transactions for multiple receivers, while ensuring consensus and forward secrecy. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to formally study the notion of forward secrecy in the setting of blockchain, borrowing a very popular and useful idea from the world of secure messaging. Specifically, we introduce: - FUL-Zether, a forward-secure version of Zether (Bunz et al., FC, 2020). - PRIvate DEcentralized Confidental Transactions (PriDe CT), a much-simplified version of Anonymous Zether that achieves competitive performance and enables batching of transactions for multiple receivers. - PRIvate DEcentralized Forward-secure Until Last update Confidential Transactions (PriDeFUL CT), a forward-secure version of PriDe CT. We also present an open-source, Ethereum-based implementation of our system. PriDe CT uses linear homomorphic encryption as Anonymous Zether but with simpler zero-knowledge proofs. PriDeFUL CT uses an updatable public key encryption scheme to achieve forward secrecy by introducing a new DDH-based construction in the standard model. In terms of transaction sizes, Quisquis (Asiacrypt, 2019), which is the only cryptocurrency that supports batchability (albeit in the UTXO model), has 15 times more group elements than PriDe CT. Meanwhile, for a ring of $N$ receivers, Anonymous Zether requires $6\log N$ more terms even without accounting for the ability to batch in PriDe CT. Further, our implementation indicates that, for $N=32$, even if there were 7 intended receivers, PriDe CT outperforms Anonymous Zether in proving time and gas consumption.

Predicate encryption (PE) is a type of public-key encryption that captures many useful primitives such as attribute-based encryption (ABE). Although much progress has been made to generically achieve security against chosen-plaintext attacks (CPA) efficiently, in practice, we also require security against chosen-ciphertext attacks (CCA). Because achieving CCA-security on a case-by-case basis is a complicated task, several generic conversion methods have been proposed, which typically target different subclasses of PE such as ciphertext-policy ABE. As is common, such conversion methods may sacrifice some efficiency. Notably, for ciphertext-policy ABE, all proposed generic transformations incur a significant decryption overhead. Furthermore, depending on the setting in which PE is used, we may also want to require that messages are signed. To do this, predicate signature schemes can be used. However, such schemes provide a strong notion of privacy for the signer, which may be stronger than necessary for some practical settings at the cost of efficiency.

In this work, we propose the notion of predicate extension, which transforms the predicate used in a PE scheme to include one additional attribute, in both the keys and the ciphertexts. Using predicate extension, we can generically obtain CCA-security and signatures from a CPA-secure PE scheme. For the CCA-security transform, we observe that predicate extension implies a two-step approach to achieving CCA-security. This insight broadens the applicability of existing transforms for specific subclasses of PE to cover all PE. We also propose a new transform that incurs slightly less overhead than existing transforms. Furthermore, we show that predicate extension allows us to create a new type of signatures, which we call PE-based signatures. PE-based signatures are weaker than typical predicate signatures in the sense that they do not provide privacy for the signer. Nevertheless, such signatures may be more suitable for some practical settings owing to their efficiency or reduced interactivity. Lastly, to show that predicate extensions may facilitate a more efficient way to achieve CCA-security generically than existing methods, we propose a novel predicate-extension transformation for a large class of pairing-based PE, covered by the pair and predicate encodings frameworks. In particular, this yields the most efficient generic CCA-conversion for ciphertext-policy ABE.

The succinct non-interactive argument of knowledge (SNARK) technique is widely used in blockchain systems to replace the costly on-chain computation with the verification of a succinct proof. However, when dealing with multiple proofs, most existing applications require each proof to be independently verified, resulting in a heavy load on nodes and high transaction fees for users. To improve the efficiency of verifying multiple proofs, we introduce SnarkFold, a universal SNARK-proof aggregation scheme based on incrementally verifiable computation (IVC). Unlike previous proof aggregation approaches based on inner product arguments, which have a logarithmic proof size and verification cost, SnarkFold achieves constant verification time and proof size. One core technical advance in SnarkFold, of independent interest, is the ``split IVC'': rather than using one running instance to fold/accumulate the computation, we employ two (or more) running instances of different types in the recursive circuit to avoid transferring into the same structure. This distinguishing feature is particularly well-suited for proof aggregation scenarios, as constructing arithmetic circuits for pairings can be expensive. We further demonstrate how to fold Groth16 proofs with our SnarkFold. With some further optimizations, SnarkFold achieves the highest efficiency among all approaches.

The Fiat-Shamir transformation is a general principle to turn any public-coin interactive proof into non-interactive one (with security then typically analyzed in the random oracle model). While initially used for 3-round protocols, many recent constructions use it for multi-round protocols. However, in general the soundness error of the Fiat-Shamir transformed protocol degrades exponentially in the number of rounds. On the positive side, it was shown that for the special class of $(k_1,\dots,k_\mu)$-special-sound protocols the loss is actually only linear in the number of random oracle queries, and independent of the number of rounds, which is optimal.

A natural next question is whether this positive result extends to the Fiat-Shamir transformation of so-called $(\Gamma_1,\dots,\Gamma_\mu)$-special-sound protocols, a notion recently defined and analyzed in the interactive case, with the aim to capture the most general notion of special-soundness.

We show in this work that this is indeed the case. Concretely, we show that the Fiat--Shamir transformation of any $(\Gamma_1,\dots,\Gamma_\mu)$-special-sound interactive proof is knowledge sound under the same condition under which the original interactive proof is knowledge sound. Furthermore, also here the loss is linear in the number of random-oracle queries and independent of the number of rounds.

In light of the above, one might suspect that our argument follows as a straightforward combination of the above mentioned prior works. However, this is not the case. The approach used for $(k_1,\dots,k_\mu)$-special-sound protocols, which is based on an extractor that samples without replacement, does not (seem to) generalize; on the other hand, the other approach, which uses an extractor based on sampling with replacement, comes with an additional loss that would blow up in the recursive multi-round analysis.

At EUROCRYPT 2017, Grassi et al. proposed the multiple-of-8 property for 5-round AES, where the number $n$ of right pairs is a multiple of 8. At ToSC 2019, Boura et al. generalized the multiple-of property for a general SPN block cipher and applied it to block cipher SKINNY. In this paper, we present that $n$ is not only a multiple but also a fixed value for SKINNY. Unlike the previous proof of generalization of multiple-of property using equivalence class, we investigate the propagation of the set to compute the exact number $n$. We experimentally verified that presented property holds. We extend this property one round more using the lack of the whitening key on the SKINNY and use this property to construct 6-round distinguisher on SKINNY-64 and SKINNY-128. The probability of success of both distinguisher is almost 1 and the total complexities are $2^{16}$ and $2^{32}$ respectively. We verified that this property only holds for SKINNY, not for AES and MIDORI, and provide the conditions under which it exists for AES-like ciphers.

HALFLOOP-96 is a 96-bit tweakable block cipher used in high frequency radio to secure automatic link establishment messages. In this paper, we concentrate on its differential properties in the contexts of conventional, related-tweak, and related-key differential attacks. Using automatic techniques, we determine the minimum number of active S-boxes and the maximum differential probability in each of the three configurations. The resistance of HALFLOOP-96 to differential attacks in the conventional and related-tweak configurations is good, and the longest distinguishers in both configurations consist of five rounds. In contrast, the security of the cipher against differential attacks in the related-key configuration is inadequate. The most effective related-key distinguisher we can find spans eight rounds. The 8-round related-key differential distinguisher is then utilised to initiate a 9-round weak-key attack. With $2^{92.96}$ chosen-plaintexts, 38.77-bit equivalent information about the keys can be recovered. Even though the attack does not pose a significant security threat to HALFLOOP-96, its security margin in the related-key configuration is exceedingly narrow. Therefore, improper use must be avoided in the application.

We introduce the notion of traceable mixnets. In a traditional mixnet, multiple mix-servers jointly permute and decrypt a list of ciphertexts to produce a list of plaintexts, along with a proof of correctness, such that the association between individual ciphertexts and plaintexts remains completely hidden. However, in many applications, the privacy-utility tradeoff requires answering some specific queries about this association, without revealing any information beyond the query result. We consider queries of the following types: a) given a ciphertext in the mixnet input list, whether it encrypts one of a given subset of plaintexts in the output list, and b) given a plaintext in the mixnet output list, whether it is a decryption of one of a given subset of ciphertexts in the input list. Traceable mixnets allow the mix-servers to jointly prove answers to the above queries to a querier such that neither the querier nor a threshold number of mix-servers learn any information beyond the query result. Further, if the querier is not corrupted, the corrupted mix-servers do not even learn the query result. We first comprehensively formalise these security properties of traceable mixnets and then propose a construction of traceable mixnets using novel distributed zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) of set membership and of a statement we call reverse set membership. Although set membership has been studied in the single-prover setting, the main challenge in our distributed setting lies in making sure that none of the mix-servers learn the association between ciphertexts and plaintexts during the proof. We implement our distributed ZKPs and show that they are faster than state-of-the-art by at least one order of magnitude.

Fuzzy extractors derive stable keys from noisy sources non-interactively (Dodis et al., SIAM Journal of Computing 2008). Since their introduction, research has focused on two tasks: 1) showing security for as many distributions as possible and 2) providing stronger security guarantees including allowing one to enroll the same value multiple times (reusability), security against an active attacker (robustness), and preventing leakage about the enrolled value (privacy). Existing constructions of reusable fuzzy extractors are direct and do not support as many distributions as the best non-reusable constructions. Constructions of robust fuzzy extractors require strong assumptions even in the CRS model. Given the need for progress on the basic fuzzy extractor primitive, it is prudent to seek generic mechanisms to transform a fuzzy extractor into one that is robust, private, and reusable so that it can inherit further improvements. This work asks if one can generically upgrade fuzzy extractors to achieve robustness, privacy, and reusability. We show positive and negative results: we show upgrades for robustness and privacy, but we provide a negative result on reuse. 1. We upgrade (private) fuzzy extractors to be robust under weaker assumptions than previously known in the common reference string model. 2. We show a generic upgrade for a private fuzzy extractor using multi-bit compute and compare (MBCC) obfuscation (Wichs and Zirdelis, FOCS 2017) that requires less entropy than prior work. 3. We show one cannot arbitrarily compose private fuzzy extractors. It is known one cannot reuse an arbitrary fuzzy extractor; each enrollment can leak a constant fraction of the input entropy. We show that one cannot build a reusable private fuzzy extractor by considering other enrollments as auxiliary input. In particular, we show that assuming MBCC obfuscation and collision-resistant hash functions, there does not exist a private fuzzy extractor secure against unpredictable auxiliary inputs strengthening a negative result of Brzuska et al. (Crypto 2014).

The first contribution of this work is a generalisation of Stern's information set decoding (ISD) algorithm. Stern's algorithm, a variant of Stern's algorithm due to Dumer, as well as a recent generalisation of Stern's algorithm due to Bernstein and Chou are obtained as special cases of our generalisation. Our second contribution is to introduce the notion of a set of effective time/memory trade-off (TMTO) points for any ISD algorithm for given ranges of values of parameters of the algorithm. Such a set succinctly and uniquely captures the entire landscape of TMTO points with only a minor loss in precision. We further describe a method to compute a set of effective TMTO points. As an application, we compute sets of effective TMTO points for the five variants of the Classic McEliece cryptosystem corresponding to the new algorithm as well as for Stern's, Dumer's and Bernstein and Chou's algorithms. The results show that while Dumer's and Bernstein and Chou's algorithms do not provide any interesting TMTO points beyond what is achieved by Stern's algorithm, the new generalisation that we propose provide about twice the number of effective TMTO points that is obtained from Stern's algorithm. Consequences of the obtained TMTO points to the classification of the variants of Classic McEliece in appropriate NIST categories are discussed.
