ROMAnTIC

• Title: Randomness in Mathematical Cryptography

• Program: ANR JCJC

• Duration: October 2012 – September 2016

• PI: Damien Vergnaud

• Partners:

  • ANSSI

  • Univ. Paris 7

  • Univ. Limoges

• The goal of this project is to get a better understanding of the interplay between randomness and cryptography and to study the security of various cryptographic protocols at different levels (information-theoretic and computational security, number-theoretic assumptions, design and provable security of new and existing constructions).

CLE

• Title: Cryptography from Learning with Errors

• Program: ANR JCJC

• Duration: October 2013 – December 2015

• PI: Vadim Lyubashevsky

• Partners:

  • UVSQ

  • Univ. Paris 8

  • Inria/SECRET

• The main objective of this project is to explore the potential practical implications of the Learning with Errors problem and its variants. The plan is to focus on the constructions of essential primitives whose use is prevalent in the real world. Toward the end of the project, the hope is to propose and standardize several public key and symmetric key schemes that have specific advantages over ones that are currently deployed.

EnBiD

• Title: Encryption for Big Data

• Program: ANR JCJC

• Duration: October 2014 – September 2018

• PI: Hoeteck Wee

• Partners:

  • Univ. Paris 2

  • Univ. Limoges

• The main objective of this project is to study techniques for efficient and expressive functional encryption schemes. Functional encryption is a novel paradigm for public-key encryption that enables both fine-grained access control and selective computation on encrypted data, as is necessary to protect big, complex data in the cloud.
