A series of research papers on various aspects of coding theory, cryptography, and other areas, including new and unpublished results on the subjects. The book will be useful to students, researchers, professionals, and tutors interested in this area of research.

This book offers a systematic presentation of cryptographic and code-theoretic aspects of the theory of Boolean functions. Both classical and recent results are thoroughly presented. Prerequisites for the book include basic knowledge of linear algebra, group theory, theory of finite fields, combinatorics, and probability. The book can be used by research mathematicians and graduate students interested in discrete mathematics, coding theory, and cryptography.

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.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO'97, held in Santa Barbara, California, USA, in August 1997 under the sponsorship of the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR).

Zusammenfassung: The 10-volume set, LNCS 14920-14929 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 44th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2024. The conference took place at Santa Barbara, CA, USA, during August 18-22, 2024. The 143 full papers presented in the proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 526 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Part I: Digital signatures; Part II: Cloud cryptography; consensus protocols; key exchange; public key encryption; Part III: Public-key cryptography with advanced functionalities; time-lock cryptography; Part IV: Symmetric cryptanalysis; symmetric cryptograph; Part V: Mathematical assumptions; secret sharing; theoretical foundations; Part VI: Cryptanalysis; new primitives; side-channels and leakage; Part VII: Quantum cryptography; threshold cryptography; Part VIII: Multiparty computation; Part IX: Multiparty computation; private information retrieval; zero-knowledge; Part X: Succinct arguments.

The papers in this volume were presented at the CRYPTO '88 conference on theory and applications of cryptography, held in Santa Barbara, California, August 21-25, 1988. The papers were chosen for their perceived originality and often represent preliminary reports on continuing research. The main sections deal with the following topics: Zero-Knowledge, Number Theory, Pseudorandomness, Signatures, Complexity, Protocols, Security, Cryptoanalysis. As such, they will give the committed reader a unique insight into the very latest developments in the field.

Cryptography in Chinese consists of two characters meaning "secret coded". Thanks to Ch'in Chiu-Shao and his successors, the Chinese Remainder Theorem became a cornerstone of public key cryptography. Today, as we observe the constant usage of high-speed computers interconnected via the Internet, we realize that cryptography and its related applications have developed far beyond "secret coding". China, which is rapidly developing in all areas of technology, is also writing a new page of history in cryptography. As more and more Chinese become recognized as leading researchers in a variety of topics in cryptography, it is not surprising that many of them are Professor Xiao's former students. Progress on Cryptography: 25 Years of Cryptography in China is a compilation of papers presented at an international workshop in conjunction with the ChinaCrypt, 2004. After 20 years, the research interests of the group have extended to a variety of areas in cryptography. This edited volume includes 32 contributed chapters. The material will cover a range of topics, from mathematical results of cryptography to practical applications. This book also includes a sample of research, conducted by Professor Xiao's former and current students. Progress on Cryptography: 25 Years of Cryptography in China is designed for a professional audience, composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level students in computer science, mathematics and engineering.

This book had its origins in the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) held in Ohrid, Macedonia, in 2014. The focus of this ASI was the arithmetic of superelliptic curves and their application in different scientific areas, including whether all the applications of hyperelliptic curves, such as cryptography, mathematical physics, quantum computation and diophantine geometry, can be carried over to the superelliptic curves. Additional papers have been added which provide some background for readers who were not at the conference, with the intention of making the book logically more complete and easier to read, but familiarity with the basic facts of algebraic geometry, commutative algebra and number theory are assumed. The book is divided into three sections. The first part deals with superelliptic curves with regard to complex numbers, the automorphisms group and the corresponding Hurwitz loci. The second part of the book focuses on the arithmetic of the subject, while the third addresses some of the applications of superelliptic curves.

The five-volume set, LNCS 14081, 140825, 14083, 14084, and 14085 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 43rd Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2023. The conference took place at Santa Barbara, USA, during August 19-24, 2023. The 124 full papers presented in the proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 479 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Part I: Consensus, secret sharing, and multi-party computation; Part II: Succinctness; anonymous credentials; new paradigms and foundations; Part III: Cryptanalysis; side channels; symmetric constructions; isogenies; Part IV: Faster fully homomorphic encryption; oblivious RAM; obfuscation; secure messaging; functional encryption; correlated pseudorandomness; proof systems in the discrete-logarithm setting.
