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.

Announcements for the following year included in some vols.

The heat transfer processes between a snow cover and its environment were studied and evaluated in order to predict changes in the physical characteristics of the snow cover from standard methorological information. The study was based on micrometeorological and related snow and soil data collected at the Keeweenaw Field Station (Mich.) from 1954-1956. Computations of conductive heat transfer in snow, using the Liljequist method, showed significant correlation with average air temperatures. Average values of the cold content of snow can be estimated from average air temperatures. Average temperature differences through the snow can be estimated from a knowledge of the previous 20-hr average air temperature; snow hardness can be estimated graphically from snow density and depth.

Parallel Scientific Computation presents a methodology for designing parallel algorithms and writing parallel computer programs for modern computer architectures with multiple processors.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Information Security Applications, WISA 2005, held in Jeju Island, Korea, in August 2005. The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 168 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on security analysis and attacks, systems security, network security, DRM/software security, efficient HW implementation, side-channel attacks, privacy/anonymity, and efficient implementation.
