This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third SKLOIS (State Key Laboratory of Information Security) Conference on Information Security and Cryptology, Inscrypt 2007 (formerly CISC), held in Xining, China, in August/September 2007.

The 33 revised full papers and 10 revised short papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 167 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on digital signature schemes, block cipher, key management, zero knowledge and secure computation protocols, secret...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 2nd International Castle Meeting, ISMCTA 2008, Castillo de la Mota, Medina del Campo, Spain, September 2008.

The 14 full papers and 5 invited papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers cover network coding, quantum codes, group codes, codes and combinatorial structures, agebraic-geometry codes, as well as codes and applications.

Cryptology is the practice of hiding digital information by means of various obfuscatory and steganographic techniques. The application of said techniques facilitates message confidentiality and sender/receiver identity authentication, and helps to ensure the integrity and security of computer passwords, ATM card information, digital signatures, DVD and HDDVD content, and electronic commerce. Cryptography is also central to digital rights management (DRM), a group of techniques for technologically controlling the use of copyrighted material that is being widely implemented and deployed at...

In the setting of multi-party computation, sets of two or more parties with private inputs wish to jointly compute some (predetermined) function of their inputs. General results concerning secure two-party or multi-party computation were first announced in the 1980s. Put briefly, these results assert that under certain assumptions one can construct protocols for securely computing any desired multi-party functionality. However, this research relates only to a setting where a single protocol execution is carried out. In contrast, in modern networks, many different protocol executions are...

Quantum computers will break today's most popular public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA, DSA, and ECDSA. This book introduces the reader to the next generation of cryptographic algorithms, the systems that resist quantum-computer attacks: in particular, post-quantum public-key encryption systems and post-quantum public-key signature systems.

Leading experts have joined forces for the first time to explain the state of the art in quantum computing, hash-based cryptography, code-based cryptography, lattice-based cryptography, and multivariate cryptography. Mathematical...
