Conference on Cryptologic Research, CRYPTO 2020, which was held during August 17–21, 2020. Crypto has traditionally been held at UCSB every year, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic it will be an online event in 2020. The 85 papers presented in the proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 371 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: Security Models; Symmetric and Real World Cryptography; Hardware Security and Leakage Resilience; Outsourced encryption; Constructions. Part II: Public Key Cryptanalysis; Lattice Algorithms and Cryptanalysis; Lattice-based and Post Quantum Cryptography; Multi-Party Computation. Part III: Multi-Party Computation; Secret Sharing; Cryptanalysis; Delay functions; Zero Knowledge.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Cryptology in India, INDOCRYPT 2020, held in Bangalore, India, in December 2020.The 39 full papers presented together with 3 invited abstracts in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 submissions. Apart from its traditional focus on areas in applied and theoretical cryptology, this year INDOCRYPT solicited papers in the area of Formal Methods for Cryptographic Systems as well and much more.

The three volume-set, LNCS 10991, LNCS 10992, and LNCS 10993, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 38th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2018, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in August 2018. The 79 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 351 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: secure messaging; implementations and physical attacks prevention; authenticated and format-preserving encryption; cryptoanalysis; searchable encryption and differential privacy; secret sharing; encryption; symmetric cryptography; proofs of work and proofs of stake; proof tools; key exchange; symmetric cryptoanalysis; hashes and random oracles; trapdoor functions; round optimal MPC; foundations; lattices; lattice-based ZK; efficient MPC; quantum cryptography; MPC; garbling; information-theoretic MPC; oblivious transfer; non-malleable codes; zero knowledge; and obfuscation.

This book constitutes the post-conference proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Security and Cryptology, Inscrypt 2020, held in, China, in December 2020. Due the COVID-19, the conference was held online and physical. The 24 full papers presented together with 8 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. The papers presents papers about research advances in all areas of information security, cryptology, and their applications.

CRYPTO is a conference devoted to all aspects of cryptologic research. It is held each year at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Annual meetings on this topic also take place in Europe and are regularly published in this Lecture Notes series under the name of EUROCRYPT. This volume presents the proceedings of the ninth CRYPTO meeting. The papers are organized into sections with the following themes: Why is cryptography harder than it looks?, pseudo-randomness and sequences, cryptanalysis and implementation, signature and authentication, threshold schemes and key management, key distribution and network security, fast computation, odds and ends, zero-knowledge and oblivious transfer, multiparty computation.

From the world's most renowned security technologist, Bruce Schneier, this 20th Anniversary Edition is the most definitive reference on cryptography ever published and is the seminal work on cryptography. Cryptographic techniques have applications far beyond the obvious uses of encoding and decoding information. For developers who need to know about capabilities, such as digital signatures, that depend on cryptographic techniques, there's no better overview than Applied Cryptography, the definitive book on the subject. Bruce Schneier covers general classes of cryptographic protocols and then specific techniques, detailing the inner workings of real-world cryptographic algorithms including the Data Encryption Standard and RSA public-key cryptosystems. The book includes source-code listings and extensive advice on the practical aspects of cryptography implementation, such as the importance of generating truly random numbers and of keeping keys secure. ". . .the best introduction to cryptography I've ever seen. . . .The book the National Security Agency wanted never to be published. . . ." -Wired Magazine ". . .monumental . . . fascinating . . . comprehensive . . . the definitive work on cryptography for computer programmers . . ." -Dr. Dobb's Journal ". . .easily ranks as one of the most authoritative in its field." -PC Magazine The book details how programmers and electronic communications professionals can use cryptography-the technique of enciphering and deciphering messages-to maintain the privacy of computer data. It describes dozens of cryptography algorithms, gives practical advice on how to implement them into cryptographic software, and shows how they can be used to solve security problems. The book shows programmers who design computer applications, networks, and storage systems how they can build security into their software and systems. With a new Introduction by the author, this premium edition will be a keepsake for all those committed to computer and cyber security.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2006, held in Santa Barbara, California, USA in August 2006. The 34 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 250 submissions. The papers address all current foundational, theoretical and research aspects of cryptology, cryptography, and cryptanalysis as well as advanced applications.
