Advances In Cryptology Asiacrypt 2004

The 10th Annual ASIACRYPT 2004 was held in Jeju Island, Korea, d- ing December 5–9, 2004. This conference was organized by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) in cooperation with KIISC (- rean Institute of Information Security and Cryptology) and IRIS (International Research center for Information Security) at ICU (Information and Communi- tionsUniversity),andwas?nanciallysupportedbyMIC(MinistryofInformation and Communication) in Korea. The conference received, from 30 countries, 208 submissions that represent the current state of work in the cryptographic community worldwide, covering all areas of cryptologic research. Each paper, without the authors’ information, was reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, and the papers (co-)authored by members of the program committee were reviewed by at least six members. We also blinded the reviewers’ names among the reviewers until the ?nal decision, by using pseudonyms. The reviews were then followed by deep discussions on the papers, which greatly contributed to the quality of the ?nal selection. In most cases, extensive comments were sent to the authors. Among 208 submissions, the program committee selected 36 papers. Two submissions were merged into a single paper, yielding the total of 35 papers acceptedforpresentationinthetechnicalprogramoftheconference.Manyhi- quality works could not be accepted because of the competitive nature of the conference and the challenging task of selecting a program. These proceedings contain revised versions of the accepted papers. These revisions have not been checked for correctness, and the authors bear full responsibility for the contents of their papers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security, ASIACRYPT 2004, held at Jeju Island, Korea in December 2004. The 35 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 208 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on block ciphers, public key encryption, number theory and applications, secure computation, hash functions, key management, identification, XL algorithms, digital signatures, public key cryptanalysis, symmetric key cryptanalysis, and cryptographic protocols.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security, ASIACRYPT 2005, held in Chennai, India in December 2005. The 37 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 237 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on algebra and number theory, multiparty computation, zero knowledge and secret sharing, information and quantum theory, privacy and anonymity, cryptanalytic techniques, stream cipher cryptanalysis, block ciphers and hash functions, bilinear maps, key agreement, provable security, and digital signatures.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Cryptology in India, INDOCRYPT 2006, held in Kolkata, India in December 2006. The 29 revised full papers and 2 invited papers cover such topics as symmetric cryptography, provable security, fast implementation of public key cryptography, id-based cryptography, as well as embedded systems and side channel attacks.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Cryptology in India, INDOCRYPT 2005, held in Bangalore, India in December 2005. The 31 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 148 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on sequences, boolean function and S-box, hash functions, design principles, cryptanalysis, time memory trade-off, new constructions, pairings, signatures, applications, e-cash, and implementations.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Workshop on Coding and Cryptography, WCC 2005, held in Bergen, Norway, in March 2005. The 33 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of review. The papers address all aspects of coding theory, cryptography and related areas, theoretical or applied.
