### Title ###
BIKE
### Abstract ###
In this talk, we will give an overview of the BIKE - Bit Flipping Key Encapsulation submission, covering aspects such as its underlying security assumptions, performance, and modes of usage. We will also describe the recent changes we have made to our submission to incorporate the feedback received from NIST and the community. In particular, new settings for the decoder are proposed, which reduce the impact of weak keys. Finally, some links between decoding failure rate (DFR), weak keys and preliminary results on error floor estimates will be presented. This indicates a favorable asymptotic evolution of the DFR and improved guarantees for the CCA security of BIKE.
### Speakers and Affiliations ###
Dr. Rafael Misoczki, Meta, USA
Dr. Nicolas Sendrier, Inria, France
### Mini bios ###
Dr. Rafael Misoczki is a Cryptographer at Meta. His areas of expertise are post-quantum cryptography, fully homomorphic encryption, privacy enhancing technologies, conventional cryptography, and the application of these constructions to various use cases. He is an active contributor to international standardization efforts on cryptography, such as ISO/IEC, IETF, and NIST. Dr. Misoczki received his PhD from Sorbonne University / INRIA, France, in 2013, with a thesis on efficient constructions for post-quantum cryptography.
Nicolas Sendrier is a researcher at Inria Paris in France. He obtained a PhD degree in 1991 and an ``Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches'' in 2002, both from Sorbonne University. He has been a research scientist at Inria since 1992 and a senior research scientist since 2003. His main research interest is the design and analysis of code-based cryptographic primitives. He is a member of the steering committee for the PQCrypto conference series.
