Currently searching the best possible Differential MITM attacks on SKINNY 64-192 with MILP !

Work in progress, don’t worry and don’t worry me, i’m a “force tranquille” ;).

Thesis

• I am supervised by Dr Naya-Plasencia and Dr Derbez for “Optimizing cryptanalysis of symmetric primitives” with the funding of the ERC “SoBaSyC” in the COSMIQ team at Inria Paris.
• My goal is to encode some informatic tools in order to optimize the cryptanalysis of current symmetric primitives! For now I am focusing my self on coding a MILP tool to found optimize differential Meet in the Middle attacks.
• I also look at the use of precomputed hash tables to improve cryptanalysis, specificaly how it can improve the key recovery of differential cryptanalysis.

Conferences and Spring School

• Mar 10-14, FSE Spring school, Roma 🇮🇹 :

  I attended FSE Spring Shcool organized by CASA, Ruhr-Universität Bochum. With lessons about :

  • Boolean Function by Anne Canteaut
  • Linear and Differential Cryptanalysis by Tim Beyne
  • Automating Tools for symmetric-key Cryptanlysis by Maria Eichlseder
  • Security of encryption modes by Bart Mennink
  • Aritmetization oriented cryptanlysis by Leo Perrin

• Mar 15 : First Workshop on Symmetric Key Cryptanalysis Automation and Modelling (SKCAM), Roma 🇮🇹 .

• Mar 17-21 : 25th Fast Software Encryption Conferences (FSE), Roma 🇮🇹 .

  I didn’t presented a paper but i hope that I was at least a good lion at the rump session 🦁

• Mar 31 - Apr 04 : Codage and Cryptographie (C2) Days 2025 at Pornichet 🇫🇷

  I Presented my thesis subject and the state of my work at this time.My Presentation
