National Initiatives

ANR MANTA

Participants : Daniel Augot, Alain Couvreur, Françoise Levy-Dit-Vehel, Philippe Lebacque, Matthieu Rambaud, Isabella Panaccione, Luca de Feo.

MANTA (accepted July 2015, starting March 2016, Ended September 2019): “Curves, surfaces, codes and cryptography”. This project deals with applications of coding theory error correcting codes to in cryptography, multi-party computation, and complexity theory, using advanced topics in algebraic geometry and number theory.

We have four annual national retreats, the last one in January 2019, and we organized a closing international workshop in August 2019, with more than 40 participants, half French, half international.

ANR CIAO

Participants : Benjamin Smith, Luca de Feo, Antonin Leroux, Mathilde de La Morinerie.

ANR CIAO (Cryptography, Isogenies, and Abelian varieties Overwhelming) is a JCJC 2019 project, led by Damien Robert (Inria EP LFANT). This project, which started in October 2019, will examine applications of higher-dimensional abelian varieties in isogeny-based cryptography.

ANR CBCRYPT

Participant : Alain Couvreur.

ANR CBCRYPT (Code–based Cryptography) This is a project from (Appel à projets générique, Défi 9, Liberté et sécurité de l’Europe, de ses citoyens et de ses résidents, Axe 4 ; Cybersécurité). This project, starting in october 2017 led by Jean-Pierre Tillich (Inria, EP Cosmiq) focusses on the design and the security analysis of code–based primitives, in the context of the current NIST competition.
