Aujourd’hui, le renforcement de la sécurité des systèmes de communications devient une nécessité, par anticipation du développement des ordinateurs quantiques et des nouvelles attaques qui en découleront. Cette thèse explore deux techniques complémentaires permettant d’assurer la confidentialité des données transmises sur des liens sans-fils. Dans la première partie de ce travail, nous nous intéressons au schéma de cryptographie à clé publique basée sur des réseaux de points, qui représente une des techniques les plus prometteuses pour la cryptographie post-quantique. En particulier, nous considérons le cryptosystème Goldreich-Goldwasser-Halevi (GGH), pour lequel nous proposons un nouveau schéma utilisant les GLD. Dans la seconde partie de ce travail, nous étudions la sécurité des canaux de diffusion multi-utilisateur, ayant accès à des mémoires de caches, en présence d'un espion. Nous considérons deux contraintes de sécurité: la contrainte de sécurité individuelle et la contrainte de sécurité jointe. Nous dérivons des bornes supérieure et inférieure pour le compromis sécurisé capacité-mémoire en considérant différentes distributions de cache. Afin d'obtenir la borne inférieure, nous proposons plusieurs schémas de codage combinant codage wiretap, codage basé sur la superposition et codage piggyback. Nous prouvons qu'il est plus avantageux d'allouer la mémoire de cache aux récepteurs les plus faibles. / Today, there is a real need to strengthen the communication security to anticipate the development of quantum computing and the eventual attacks arising from it. This work explores two complementary techniques that provide confidentiality to data transmitted over wireless networks. In the first part, we focus on lattice-based public-key cryptography, which is one of the most promising techniques for the post-quantum cryptography systems. In particular, we focus on the Goldreich-Goldwasser-Halevi (GGH) cryptosystem, for which we propose a new scheme using GLD lattices. In the second part of this work, we study the security of multi-user cache-aided wiretap broadcast channels (BCs) against an external eavesdropper under two secrecy constraints: individual secrecy constraint and joint secrecy constraint. We compute upper and lower bounds on secure capacity-memory tradeoff considering different cache distributions. To obtain the lower bound, we propose different coding schemes that combine wiretap coding, superposition coding and piggyback coding. We prove that allocation of the cache memory to the weaker receivers is the most beneficial cache distribution scenario.

Le premier protocole cryptographique basé sur les codes correcteurs d'erreurs a été proposé en 1978 par Robert McEliece. La cryptographie basée sur les codes est dite post-quantique car il n'existe pas à l'heure actuelle d'algorithme capable d'attaquer ce type de protocoles en temps polynomial, même en utilisant un ordinateur quantique, contrairement aux protocoles basés sur des problèmes de théorie des nombres. Toutefois, la sécurité du cryptosystème de McEliece ne repose pas uniquement sur des problèmes mathématiques. L'implantation, logicielle ou matérielle, a également un rôle très important pour sa sécurité et l'étude de celle-ci face aux attaques par canaux auxiliaires/cachés n'a débuté qu'en 2008. Des améliorations sont encore possibles. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons de nouvelles attaques sur le déchiffrement du cryptosystème de McEliece, utilisé avec les codes de Goppa classiques, ainsi que des contre-mesures correspondantes. Les attaques proposées sont des analyses de temps d'exécution ou de consommation d'énergie. Les contre-mesures associées reposent sur des propriétés mathématiques et algorithmiques. Nous montrons qu'il est essentiel de sécuriser l'algorithme de déchiffrement en le considérant dans son ensemble et non pas seulement étape par étape / The first cryptographic protocol based on error-correcting codes was proposed in 1978 by Robert McEliece. Cryptography based on codes is called post-quantum because until now, no algorithm able to attack this kind of protocols in polynomial time, even using a quantum computer, has been proposed. This is in contrast with protocols based on number theory problems like factorization of large numbers, for which efficient Shor's algorithm can be used on quantum computers. Nevertheless, the McEliece cryptosystem security is based not only on mathematical problems. Implementation (in software or hardware) is also very important for its security. Study of side-channel attacks against the McEliece cryptosystem have begun in 2008. Improvements can still be done. In this thesis, we propose new attacks against decryption in the McEliece cryptosystem, used with classical Goppa codes, including corresponding countermeasures. Proposed attacks are based on evaluation of execution time of the algorithm or its power consumption analysis. Associate countermeasures are based on mathematical and algorithmic properties of the underlying algorithm. We show that it is necessary to secure the decryption algorithm by considering it as a whole and not only step by step

Elliptic curves were first proposed as a basis for public key cryptography in the mid 1980's. They provide public key cryptosystems based on the difficulty of the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) , which is so called because of its similarity to the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) over the integers modulo a large prime. One benefit of elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECCs) is that they can use a much shorter key length than other public key cryptosystems to provide an equivalent level of security. For example, 160 bit ECCs are believed to provide about the same level of security as 1024 bit RSA. Also, the level of security provided by an ECC increases faster with key size than for integer based discrete logarithm (dl) or RSA cryptosystems. ECCs can also provide a faster implementation than RSA or dl systems, and use less bandwidth and power. These issues can be crucial in lightweight applications such as smart cards. In the last few years, ECCs have been included or proposed for inclusion in internationally recognized standards. Thus elliptic curve cryptography is set to become an integral part of lightweight applications in the immediate future. This thesis presents an analysis of several important issues for ECCs on lightweight devices. It begins with an introduction to elliptic curves and the algorithms required to implement an ECC. It then gives an analysis of the speed, code size and memory usage of various possible implementation options. Enough details are presented to enable an implementer to choose for implementation those algorithms which give the greatest speed whilst conforming to the code size and ram restrictions of a particular lightweight device. Recommendations are made for new functions to be included on coprocessors for lightweight devices to support ECC implementations Another issue of concern for implementers is the side-channel attacks that have recently been proposed. They obtain information about the cryptosystem by measuring side-channel information such as power consumption and processing time and the information is then used to break implementations that have not incorporated appropriate defences. A new method of defence to protect an implementation from the simple power analysis (spa) method of attack is presented in this thesis. It requires 44% fewer additions and 11% more doublings than the commonly recommended defence of performing a point addition in every loop of the binary scalar multiplication algorithm. The algorithm forms a contribution to the current range of possible spa defences which has a good speed but low memory usage. Another topic of paramount importance to ECCs for lightweight applications is whether the security of fixed curves is equivalent to that of random curves. Because of the inability of lightweight devices to generate secure random curves, fixed curves are used in such devices. These curves provide the additional advantage of requiring less bandwidth, code size and processing time. However, it is intuitively obvious that a large precomputation to aid in the breaking of the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) can be made for a fixed curve which would be unavailable for a random curve. Therefore, it would appear that fixed curves are less secure than random curves, but quantifying the loss of security is much more difficult. The thesis performs an examination of fixed curve security taking this observation into account, and includes a definition of equivalent security and an analysis of a variation of Pollard's rho method where computations from solutions of previous ECDLPs can be used to solve subsequent ECDLPs on the same curve. A lower bound on the expected time to solve such ECDLPs using this method is presented, as well as an approximation of the expected time remaining to solve an ECDLP when a given size of precomputation is available. It is concluded that adding a total of 11 bits to the size of a fixed curve provides an equivalent level of security compared to random curves. The final part of the thesis deals with proofs of security of key exchange protocols in the Canetti-Krawczyk proof model. This model has been used since it offers the advantage of a modular proof with reusable components. Firstly a password-based authentication mechanism and its security proof are discussed, followed by an analysis of the use of the authentication mechanism in key exchange protocols. The Canetti-Krawczyk model is then used to examine secure tripartite (three party) key exchange protocols. Tripartite key exchange protocols are particularly suited to ECCs because of the availability of bilinear mappings on elliptic curves, which allow more efficient tripartite key exchange protocols.
