    Algorithmes quantiques pour la cryptanalyse et cryptographie symétrique post-quantique

    Modern cryptography relies on the notion of computational security. The level of security given by a cryptosystem is expressed as an amount of computational resources required to break it. The goal of cryptanalysis is to find attacks, that is, algorithms with lower complexities than the conjectural bounds.With the advent of quantum computing devices, these levels of security have to be updated to take a whole new notion of algorithms into account. At the same time, cryptography is becoming widely used in small devices (smart cards, sensors), with new cost constraints.In this thesis, we study the security of secret-key cryptosystems against quantum adversaries.We first build new quantum algorithms for k-list (k-XOR or k-SUM) problems, by composing exhaustive search procedures. Next, we present dedicated cryptanalysis results, starting with a new quantum cryptanalysis tool, the offline Simon's algorithm. We describe new attacks against the lightweight algorithms Spook and Gimli and we perform the first quantum security analysis of the standard cipher AES.Finally, we specify Saturnin, a family of lightweight cryptosystems oriented towards post-quantum security. Thanks to a very similar structure, its security relies largely on the analysis of AES.La cryptographie moderne est fondée sur la notion de sécurité computationnelle. Les niveaux de sécurité attendus des cryptosystèmes sont exprimés en nombre d'opérations ; une attaque est un algorithme d'une complexité inférieure à la borne attendue. Mais ces niveaux de sécurité doivent aujourd'hui prendre en compte une nouvelle notion d'algorithme : le paradigme du calcul quantique. Dans le même temps,la délégation grandissante du chiffrement à des puces RFID, objets connectés ou matériels embarqués pose de nouvelles contraintes de coût.Dans cette thèse, nous étudions la sécurité des cryptosystèmes à clé secrète face à un adversaire quantique.Nous introduisons tout d'abord de nouveaux algorithmes quantiques pour les problèmes génériques de k-listes (k-XOR ou k-SUM), construits en composant des procédures de recherche exhaustive.Nous présentons ensuite des résultats de cryptanalyse dédiée, en commençant par un nouvel outil de cryptanalyse quantique, l'algorithme de Simon hors-ligne. Nous décrivons de nouvelles attaques contre les algorithmes Spook et Gimli et nous effectuons la première étude de sécurité quantique du chiffrement AES. Dans un troisième temps, nous spécifions Saturnin, une famille de cryptosystèmes à bas coût orientés vers la sécurité post-quantique. La structure de Saturnin est proche de celle de l'AES et sa sécurité en tire largement parti

    Generative Mesh Modeling

    Generative Modeling is an alternative approach for the description of three-dimensional shape. The basic idea is to represent a model not as usual by an agglomeration of geometric primitives (triangles, point clouds, NURBS patches), but by functions. The paradigm change from objects to operations allows for a procedural representation of procedural shapes, such as most man-made objects. Instead of storing only the result of a 3D construction, the construction process itself is stored in a model file. The generative approach opens truly new perspectives in many ways, among others also for 3D knowledge management. It permits for instance to resort to a repository of already solved modeling problems, in order to re-use this knowledge also in different, slightly varied situations. The construction knowledge can be collected in digital libraries containing domain-specific parametric modeling tools. A concrete realization of this approach is a new general description language for 3D models, the "Generative Modeling Language" GML. As a Turing-complete "shape programming language" it is a basis of existing, primitv based 3D model formats. Together with its Runtime engine the GML permits - to store highly complex 3D models in a compact form, - to evaluate the description within fractions of a second, - to adaptively tesselate and to interactively display the model, - and even to change the models high-level parameters at runtime.Die generative Modellierung ist ein alternativer Ansatz zur Beschreibung von dreidimensionaler Form. Zugrunde liegt die Idee, ein Modell nicht wie üblich durch eine Ansammlung geometrischer Primitive (Dreiecke, Punkte, NURBS-Patches) zu beschreiben, sondern durch Funktionen. Der Paradigmenwechsel von Objekten zu Geometrie-erzeugenden Operationen ermöglicht es, prozedurale Modelle auch prozedural zu repräsentieren. Statt das Resultat eines 3D-Konstruktionsprozesses zu speichern, kann so der Konstruktionsprozess selber repräsentiert werden. Der generative Ansatz eröffnet unter anderem gänzlich neue Perspektiven für das Wissensmanagement im 3D-Bereich. Er ermöglicht etwa, auf einen Fundus bereits gelöster Konstruktions-Aufgaben zurückzugreifen, um sie in ähnlichen, aber leicht variierten Situationen wiederverwenden zu können. Das Konstruktions-Wissen kann dazu in Form von Bibliotheken parametrisierter, Domänen-spezifischer Modellier-Werkzeuge gesammelt werden. Konkret wird dazu eine neue allgemeine Modell-Beschreibungs-Sprache vorgeschlagen, die "Generative Modeling Language" GML. Als Turing-mächtige "Programmiersprache für Form" stellt sie eine echte Verallgemeinerung existierender Primitiv-basierter 3D-Modellformate dar. Zusammen mit ihrer Runtime-Engine erlaubt die GML, - hochkomplexe 3D-Objekte extrem kompakt zu beschreiben, - die Beschreibung innerhalb von Sekundenbruchteilen auszuwerten, - das Modell adaptiv darzustellen und interaktiv zu betrachten, - und die Modell-Parameter interaktiv zu verändern

    On Approximability, Convergence, and Limits of CSP Problems

    This thesis studies dense constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), and other related optimization and decision problems that can be phrased as questions regarding parameters or properties of combinatorial objects such as uniform hypergraphs. We concentrate on the information that can be derived from a very small substructure that is selected uniformly at random. In this thesis, we present a unified framework on the limits of CSPs in the sense of the convergence notion of Lovasz-Szegedy that depends only on the remarkable connection between graph sequences and exchangeable arrays established by Diaconis-Janson. In particular, we formulate and prove a representation theorem for compact colored r-uniform directed hypergraphs and apply this to rCSPs. We investigate the sample complexity of testable r-graph parameters, and discuss a generalized version of ground state energies (GSE) and demonstrate that they are efficiently testable. The GSE is a term borrowed from statistical physics that stands for a generalized version of maximal multiway cut problems from complexity theory, and was studied in the dense graph setting by Borgs et al. A notion related to testing CSPs that are defined on graphs, the nondeterministic property testing, was introduced by Lovasz-Vesztergombi, which extends the graph property testing framework of Goldreich-Goldwasser-Ron in the dense graph model. In this thesis, we study the sample complexity of nondeterministically testable graph parameters and properties and improve existing bounds by several orders of magnitude. Further, we prove the equivalence of the notions of nondeterministic and deterministic parameter and property testing for uniform dense hypergraphs of arbitrary rank, and provide the first effective upper bound on the sample complexity in this general case

    Structural Evolution, Chemical Order, and Crystallization of Metallic Liquids and Glasses

    Over the last 60 years, bulk metallic glasses have emerged as a new class of materials with highly desirable material properties. Their high strength, high elasticity, and corrosion resistance are attractive properties for viable commercial products. At its core, material properties are directly related to the underlying microstructure. By understanding the structural and chemical order in the liquid and undercooled liquid and their relationship to thermophysical properties such as viscosity, a greater understanding of bulk metallic glass formation can be achieved. In this dissertation, electrostatic levitation techniques are used to study the liquid in a containerless environment using a combination of X-ray and neutron scattering techniques. An X-ray diffraction study of liquid and glass Ni-Nb(-Ta) alloys reveals that an acceleration in the rate of structural ordering must take place near the glass transition, providing the framework for a structural description of fragility. X-ray diffraction and thermophysical property measurements of Zr-Ni binary alloys further characterize the structural connection to viscosity, and reveal signatures of chemical ordering in the liquid. By combining X-ray and neutron scattering measurements, the topological and chemical order in Zr80Pt20 and Zr77Rh23 liquids is characterized. Very different chemical order is found between these alloys, despite their remarkable similarity in topological order. Due to this structural similarity, a new metastable phase is predicted and later identified emerging from a deeply supercooled Zr77Rh23 liquid. Zr77Rh23 is found to have many metastable crystallization pathways, which are further characterized here. Through simultaneous wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scattering, the devitrification behavior of a bulk metallic glass (Vitreloy 105) is investigated and is found to decompose into two distinct compositions during crystallization. By understanding crystallization pathways in good glass-forming alloys, a better understanding of glass formation and its connections to structural and thermophysical properties can be achieved
