This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 9th Annual International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptology, SAC 2002, held in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, in August 2002. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 90 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on elliptic curve enhancements, SNOW, encryption schemes, differential attacks, Boolean functions and stream ciphers, block cipher security, signatures and secret sharing, MAC and hash constructions, and RSA and XTR enhancements.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2004, held in Waterloo, Canada in August 2004. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on stream cipher analysis, side channel analysis, block cipher design, efficient implementations, secret key cryptography, cryptanalysis, and cryptographic protocols.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 10th Annual International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2003, held in Ottawa, Canada, in August 2003. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 85 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves, side channel attacks, security protocols and applications, cryptanalysis, cryptographic primitives, stream ciphers, and efficient implementations.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 7th Annual International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2000, held in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, in August 2000. The 24 revised full papers presented were selected from 41 submissions and have gone through two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalysis, block ciphers: new designs, elliptic curves and efficient implementations, security protocols and applications, block ciphers and hash functions, Boolean functions and stream ciphers, and public key systems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th Annual International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2011, held in Toronto, Canada in August 2011. The 23 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalysis of hash functions, security in clouds, bits and randomness, cryptanalysis of ciphers, cryptanalysis of public-key crypthography, cipher implementation, new designs and mathematical aspects of applied cryptography.

Selected Areas in Cryptography brings together in one place important contributions and up-to-date research results in this fast moving area. Selected Areas in Cryptography serves as an excellent reference, providing insight into some of the most challenging research issues in the field.

Here, more than two dozen papers on some of the latest subject areas in cryptography have been selected for publication. They represent the refereed post-proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2007, held in Ottawa, Canada, in August 2007. Chosen from more than 70 submissions, they cover a huge array of topics including stream cipher cryptanalysis, modes of operation and side-channel attacks. Online files and updates are included.
