Title: Quantum circuits for binary elliptic curve arithmetic

Speaker: Pierre-Louis Cayrel (Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Etienne)

Title: Recent progress in code-based cryptography

The annual workshop of the Check Point Institute for Information Security (CPIIS) brings together students and practitioners in the area of cryptography and information security, for sharing of recent research and current perspective.

It is well known that it is impossible for two parties to toss a coin fairly (Cleve, STOC

Motivated by recent developments in fully homomorphic encryption, we consider the folklore conjecture that every semantically-secure bit-encryption scheme is circular secure, or in other words, that every bit-encryption scheme remains secure even when the adversary is given encryptions of the individual bits of the private-key. We show the following obstacles to proving this conjecture:
