This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Cryptology and Information Security in Latin America, LATIN 2021, which was held in October 2021. The conference was originally planned to take place in Bogota, Colombia, but changed to a virtual event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 22 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: quantum cryptography; post-quantum cryptography; asymmetric cryptanalysis; cryptanalysis and side-channel analysis; distributed cryptographic protocols; and multiparty computation.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Cryptology and Information Security in Latin America, LATINCRYPT 2014, held in Florianópolis, Brazil, in September 2014. The 19 papers presented together with four invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptographic engineering, side-channel attacks and countermeasures, privacy, crypto analysis and cryptographic protocols.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Progress in Cryptology, LATINCRYPT 2023, held in Quito, Ecuador, in October 2023. The 19 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Symmetric-Key Cryptography; Multi-Party Computation; Isogeny-Based Cryptography; Discrete Logarithm Problem; Cryptographic Protocols; Real-World Cryptography; and Zero-Knowledge Proofs.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Security, Privacy, and Applied Cryptography Engineering, SPACE 2017, held in Goa, India, in December 2017. The 13 revised full papers presented together with 1 short paper, 7 invited talks, and 4 tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 initial submissions. This annual event is devoted to various aspects of security, privacy, applied cryptography, and cryptographic engineering. This is indeed a very challenging field, requiring the expertise from diverse domains, ranging from mathematics to solid-state circuit design.

Exploring many aspects of blockchain technologies and providing an overview of the latest cuttingedge developments along with their diversified business applications, this volume addresses the challenges, emerging issues, and problems in classical centralized architecture and covers how blockchain platforms provide almost magical solutions and novel services for improving business processes. Focusing on blockchain technology-based distributed transactions for industrial use, the chapters address applications in sectors such as healthcare, pharmaceutical drug supply, finance and banking, agriculture and farming, semantic web services, etc. The book explores blockchain applications associated with security issues, cryptocurrencies, cloud computing, Internet of Things, estimating intelligence (of crows, as an example) using artificial intelligence, and more. The chapters discuss deployment, feasibility studies, and the many diverse services offered by blockchain technology

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Cryptology in India, INDOCRYPT 2019, held in Hyderabad, India, in December 2019. The 28 revised full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions (of which 20 were either rejected without being reviewed or withdrawn before the deadline). The focus of the conference includes works on signatures and filter permutators; symmetric key ciphers and hash functions; blockchain, secure computation and blind coupon mechanism; oblivious transfer, obfuscation and privacy amplification; Boolean functions, elliptic curves and lattices; algorithms, attacks and distribution; and efficiency, side-channel resistance and PUFs.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographer's Track at the RSA Conference 2017, CT-RSA 2017, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in February 2017. The 25 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 77 submissions. CT-RSA has become a major publication venue in cryptography. It covers a wide variety of topics from public-key to symmetric key cryptography and from cryptographic protocols to primitives and their implementation security. This year selected topics such as cryptocurrencies and white-box cryptography were added to the call for papers.
