Speaker: Bardia Taghavi, Ph.D. student, Computer Engineering, Florida Atlantic University Title: Two Birds, One Stone: A Unified High-Performance NTT Architecture for ML-KEM and ML-DSA Abstract: With the recent NIST standardization of ML-KEM (Kyber) and ML-DSA (Dilithium), the focus of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) research has shifted from algorithm selection to efficient hardware implementation. While both schemes rely on the hardness of the module-lattice hardness assumptions and utilize the Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) for fast polynomial multiplication, they operate over distinct algebraic rings (Rq with q=3329 for Kyber vs. q=8,380,417 for Dilithium). This discrepancy typically forces hardware designers to implement separate, redundant accelerators for each scheme, leading to suboptimal area efficiency. In this talk, I will present a novel, high-performance unified NTT architecture capable of accelerating both ML-KEM and ML-DSA within a single, reconfigurable hardware block. We will examine the mathematical structures that allow for a "dual-mode" Butterfly Unit (BFU) design, utilizing configurable modular reduction techniques (such as Barrett reduction or Montgomery multiplication) that adapt to either modulus at runtime. |

Analysis & Applications Seminar Speaker: Ali Ittayem, Florida Atlantic University Title: Do we expect to see chaotic dynamics in an oscillator forced by a trigonometric polynomial with random coefficients? Abstract: A result of Smale provides a certificate for chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems---namely, a transverse intersection of the stable and unstable manifolds of an equilibrium is sufficient. For perturbed Hamiltonian systems, such transverse intersections can be located by finding zeros of the so-called Melnikov function. Guckenheimer and Holmes applied this to Duffing's equation with sinusoidal forcing in order to show the presence of chaos for an appropriate ratio of (small) damping and (small) forcing amplitude. Revisiting this example, we present ongoing research considering the outcome when the sinusoidal forcing term is replaced by a trigonometric polynomial with randomly sampled coefficients. We investigate the average number of zeros (and the probability of at least one zero) of the Melnikov function when the coefficients are i.i.d. Gaussian random variables. This is joint work with Erik Lundberg. |

Tues. |
Speaker: Luke Carey, Ph.D. student, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Florida Atlantic University Title: An Overview of DualMS: A Post-Quantum Multi-Signature Abstract: A multi-signature is a cryptographic scheme which allows for multiple independent parties to sign a singular message together. The scheme DualMS by Yanbo Chen (2023) is an example of a post-quantum lattice-based two-round multi-signature scheme, which utilizes many fascinating cryptographic techniques, including Module Learning with Errors (MLWE), rejection sampling, and the discrete Gaussian. At this talk, we will give an overview of DualMS, give a very short outline of the proof of security, and briefly discuss possible future directions we can take DualMS. |

57th Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Computing Celebrating its 57th year, the Conference brings together mathematicians and others interested in combinatorics, graph theory, and computing, and their interactions. The Conference lectures and contributed papers, as well as the opportunities for informal conversations, have proven to be of great interest to other scientists and analysts employing these mathematical sciences in their professional work in business, industry, and government. The Conference continues to promote a better understanding of the roles of modern applied mathematics, combinatorics, and computer science, acquainting investigators in each of these areas with the various techniques and algorithms available to assist in their research. Each discipline has contributed significantly to the others, and the purpose of the Conference is to narrow the gaps between the fields even further. Regsiter Here! |
