Opis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fifth Theory of Cryptography Conference, TCC 2008, held in New York, USA, March 19-21, 2008. The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The papers are organized in 16 sessions dealing with the paradigms, approaches and techniques used to conceptualize, define and provide solutions to natural cryptographic problems.
