The Crypto ’95 conference was sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR), in cooperation with the IEEE Computer - ciety Technical Committee on Security and Privacy, and the Computer Science Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara. It took place at the University of California, Santa Barbara, from August 27-31, 1995. This was the fifteenth annual Crypto conference; all have been held at UCSB. For the second time, proceedings were available at the conference. The General Chair, Stafford Tavares, was responsible for local organization and registration. The Program Committee considered 151 papers and selected 36 for pres- tation. There were also two invited talks. Robert Morris, Sr. gave a talk on “Ways of Losing Information,” which included some non-cryptographic means of leaking secrets that are often overlooked by cryptographers. The second talk, “Cryptography - Myths and Realities,” was given by Adi Shamir, this year’s IACR Distinguished Lecturer. Shamir is the second person to receive this honor, the first having been Gus Simmons at Crypto ’94. These proceedings contain revised versions of the 36 contributed talks. Each paper was sent to at least three members of the program committee for c- ments. Revisions were not checked on their scientific aspects. Some authors will write final versions of their papers for publication in refereed journals. Of course, the authors bear full responsibility for the contents of their papers.

This text presents the proceedings of an international conference on advances in cryptology. The papers are organized into topical sections on chosen ciphertext security, cryptanalysis of hash functions and block ciphers, distributed cryptography, zero knowledge and implementation.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of EUROCRYPT '95, the 1995 International Workshop on the Theory and Application of Cryptographic Techniques, held in Saint-Malo, France in May 1995 under the sponsorship of the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). The volume contains revised versions of the 33 papers selected from a total of 113 submissions. All current aspects of cryptologic research and advanced applications are addressed; there are sections on cryptanalysis, signatures, computational number theory, cryptographic protocols, secret sharing, electronic cash, shift registers and Boolean functions, authentication codes, new schemes, complexity aspects, and implementation aspects.

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 volume is concerned with the individual steps in the pathway of retrovirus morphogenesis and maturation starting at the point where the components of the virion have been synthesized within the infected cell and ending once the infectious virion has been released from this cell. An introductory chapter provides a comparative description of the structure and morphology of infectious viruses. A novel feature is the organization according to individual steps in the pathway of virus particle formation rather than according to individual viruses or virus groups as has been done in most previous reviews. This novel concept should allow a comparative discussion of the similarities and differences within this complex virus family regarding the specific aspects of formation of an infectious virion.
