Research area: Cryptography
Project title: Cryptoanalysis on LWE
Project description: With the advent of quantum computers, the most famous and used public key encryption methods will become vulnerable. Learning With Errors is nowadays considered one of the best one-way-function candidates to build quantum resistant crypto-protocols. Indeed it seems to be resistant both to quantum and non-quantum attacks. Thus it is very important to make a strong cryptoanalysis on LWE before the advent of the quantum era. What I do is to study a statistical approach for a cryptoanalysis on this problem.
