On the Optimum Secrecy Outage Probability and Ergodic Secrecy Rate over Wireless Channels
Clement Leroy, Tarak Arbi, Benoit Geller +1
We study the secrecy of wireless channels in the presence of an eavesdropper, where the channels are random and the transmitter only has knowledge of the channel statistics. We inv…
From Classical to Quantum: Explicit Classical Distributions Achieving Maximal Quantum -Divergence
Dimitri Lanier, Julien Béguinot, Olivier Rioul
Explicit classical states achieving maximal -divergence are given, allowing for a simple proof of Matsumoto's Theorem, and the systematic extension of any inequality between cla…
Data Processing Inequality for The Quantum Guesswork
Ilyass Mejdoub, Julien Béguinot, Olivier Rioul
Non-orthogonal quantum states pose a fundamental challenge in quantum information processing, as they cannot be distinguished with absolute certainty. Conventionally, the focus has…
What can Information Guess? Guessing Advantage vs. Rényi Entropy for Small Leakages
Julien Béguinot, Olivier Rioul
We leverage the Gibbs inequality and its natural generalization to Rényi entropies to derive closed-form parametric expressions of the optimal lower bounds of th-order guessing…

Idris Delsol, Olivier Rioul, Julien Béguinot +2
A new information theoretic condition is presented for reconstructing a discrete random variable based on the knowledge of a set of discrete functions of . The reconstructio…
Maximal Leakage of Masked Implementations Using Mrs. Gerber's Lemma for Min-Entropy
Julien Béguinot, Yi Liu, Olivier Rioul +2
A common countermeasure against side-channel attacks on secret key cryptographic implementations is th-order masking, which splits each sensitive variable into random shar…

A conditional version of Sibson's -information is defined using a simple closed-form "log-expectation" expression, which satisfies important properties such as consistency, unif…
Attacking Masked Cryptographic Implementations: Information-Theoretic Bounds
Wei Cheng, Yi Liu, Sylvain Guilley +1
Measuring the information leakage is critical for evaluating the practical security of cryptographic devices against side-channel analysis. Information-theoretic measures can be us…

Andrei Tănăsescu, Marios O. Choudary, Olivier Rioul +1
A Massey-like inequality is any useful lower bound on guessing entropy in terms of the computationally scalable Shannon entropy. The asymptotically optimal Massey-like inequality i…
Designs in finite metric spaces: a probabilistic approach
Minjia Shi, Olivier Rioul, Patrick Solé
A finite metric space is called here distance degree regular if its distance degree sequence is the same for every vertex. A notion of designs in such spaces is introduced that gen…
Cumulant Expansion of Mutual Information for Quantifying Leakage of a Protected Secret
Olivier Rioul, Wei Cheng, Sylvain Guilley
The information leakage of a cryptographic implementation with a given degree of protection is evaluated in a typical situation when the signal-to-noise ratio is small. This is sol…
Variations on a Theme by Massey
Olivier Rioul
In 1994, Jim Massey proposed the guessing entropy as a measure of the difficulty that an attacker has to guess a secret used in a cryptographic system, and established a well-known…
Entropy Estimation of Physically Unclonable Functions via Chow Parameters
Alexander Schaub, Olivier Rioul, Joseph +1
A physically unclonable function (PUF) is an electronic circuit that produces an intrinsic identifier in response to a challenge. These identifiers depend on uncontrollable variati…
