TL;DR

It is shown that in a BIKE multi-instance setting an attacker can construct a DOOM instance with nM syndromes, and multi-instance security of code-based KEMs degrades as a function of M.

BB84 with ML-KEM Decapsulation-Failure-Based Security Parameters

This paper suggests that as a key exchange mechanism, BB84 should be run with security parameters comparable to those of ML-KEM, and analyzes performance implications if this choice is taken, and offers general guidelines for BB84 parameter selection.

From Multiplication to Recovery: A Single-trace Side-Channel Attack on HQC

This work presents a comprehensive Soft-Analytical Side-Channel Attack (SASCA) targeting the implementation of the iterative Karatsuba algorithm, and presents the optimized factor graph and algorithm tailored to the binary values and sparsity of HQC to make the SASCA more practical.

Less Than a Bit to Rule Them All – Key Recovery from Randomness Leakage in ML-DSA

It is shown that not all leaky signatures carry information about the secret subkey, and the notion of informative signature relations is introduced, which allows us to define a preprocessing step, called filter-and-shift that leads to ILWE instances that require a smaller sample amount.

Revisiting Simple Power Analysis of Polynomial Multiplication in the HQC Implementation

This work revisits the side-channel resistance of the latest HQC reference implementation, with a focus on its polynomial multiplication routine used in decryption, and proposes a zero-cost mitigation based on swapping operand roles so that the mask computation depends only on public data.

How to break the Miranda signature scheme over matrix Gabidulin codes

The Miranda signature scheme relies on masking a matrix code which disposes of a masked underlying structure, and the knowledge of which allows for efficient error decoding. We consider a Gabidulin code which is expanded into a matrix code, that is only \Fq-linear. An additional masking is then applied to it. The attac...
