solid basis for symmetric cryptography

symmetric cryptography essential for enabling secure communications has benefited from an explosion of new results in the last two decades in big part due to several standardization efforts many public competitions have been launched since 1997 where the community proposes cryptographic constructions and simultaneously evaluates their security and performance the security of symmetric cryptography is based on cryptanalysis we only gain confidence in a symmetric cryptographic function through extensive and continuous scrutiny however the current context has not allowed the community to digest all the new findings as can be seen from several recurrent issues the two main ones are 1 primitives proposed at toptier venues often get broken by slight modifications of already known techniques2 published cryptanalysis at top conferences sometimes include mistakes or are suboptimal they are also often reinvented and renamedthe main challenge of sobasyc is to establish solid bases for symmetric cryptography using cryptanalysis as the starting point my aim is to unify the knowledge obtained through the years on the different families of attacks to transform it with an algorithmic approach and to endow it with optimizations the final result will be a toolbox congregating all our newly proposed optimized algorithms that will provide the best known attacks on a given construction through an easy application next i plan to derive from this algorithmic approach some theoretical bounds as well as some properties that i will include in the security proofs of symmetric constructions providing more meaningful and realistic security argumentsthis would allow for the first time to ensure that any newly proposed primitive or construction is already resistant to all known attacks and will considerably increase the confidence on these functions it will also save a considerable amount of time and allow the field to advance at last on solid ground
stay home or go beyond deciphering the mechanisms underlying argonaute1 loading and srna movement in plants

small rnas srna are essential regulators of gene expression controlling development and preserving genome integrity all across eukaryotic organisms to execute their final functions srna are loaded into an argonaute ago protein to guide through sequence complementarity the regulation of target genes in plants srnas are divided into small interfering rna sirna and microrna mirna and both can be loaded into ago1 for cellautonomous action or move out of the cell to act noncell autonomously this proposal outlines a series of complementary experiments to mechanistically study the loading of srna into ago1 and to understand how it contributes to the intra and intercellular movement of srna in plants by combining cell biology rna biochemistry deepsequencing analysis nuclear fractionation methods micrografting and superresolution microscopy this project aims at i characterize the nuclear and cytoplasmic srna loading complexes lcs ii decipher the connection between srna biogenesis and lcs and iii determine how srna loading could affect the srna movement the results obtained will advance the state of the art in plants in our understanding of ago1 loading mechanism the execution of the ago1 function and srna movement studying these pathways goes beyond mere mechanistic knowledge as srna movement is being exploited to modulate plant and pathogen gene expression towards improving crop productivity and enhancing stresspathogen tolerance a booming strategy known as sprayinduced gene silencing altogether this project is expected to create a wealth of original information providing a meaningful contribution to european excellence and competitiveness in the field

regional economy travel expectations

the assessment of the economic health of economies around the world has historically been based on reports prepared by multiple public and private institutions from banks to governments these describe how an economy has evolved in the past but are lagging and lowresolution pictures of fast evolving systems and are therefore hillsuited for guiding real decisionmaking processes under uncertainty the solution could come from air transport and its demand as these can provide realtime indicators of the intentions of citizens and companies to travel several months in the future but are also linked to and therefore describe the evolution of the economy in general by relying on largescale data sets covering several aspects of air transport from operational plans to price evolution this project proposes exploring the societal and commercial value of macroeconomic indicators extracted from air transport from a technical perspective this will be achieved by deploying an it infrastructure to support the creation and distribution of reports based on such indicators and their respective evolution most importantly the value of these reports will be tested in three use cases targeting the general public a large regional government and a sme we will thus explore the commercial value of such reports and their suitability for supporting a future business while also providing a freely given added value for society at large
