This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP Conference on Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks held in Ottawa, Canada, July, 2008.This series publishes state-of-the-art results in the sciences and technologies of information and communication. The scope of the series includes: foundations of computer science; software theory and practice; education; computer applications in technology; communication systems; systems modeling and optimization; information systems; computers and society; computer systems technology; security and protection in information processing systems; artificial intelligence; and human-computer interaction. Proceedings and post-proceedings of refereed international conferences in computer science and interdisciplinary fields are featured. These results often precede journal publication and represent the most current research. The principal aim of the IFIP series is to encourage education and the dissemination and exchange of information about all aspects of computing.

This book contains revised selected papers from the 32nd International Conference on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2025, held in Toronto, ON, Canada, in August 2025.The 29 full papers were presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 109 submissions. They were organized in the following topical sections as follows : Cryptanalysis of Symmetric Schemes and Primitives; Impossible Differential Attacks; Symmetric Design Strategies and Security; Efficient Implementations; Public Key Encryption; Attacks on Public-Key Schemes; Isogeny-Based Cryptography; Fully Homomorphic Encryption; and Side-Channel Analysis and Fault Attacks.

SAC 2007 was the 14th in a series of annual workshops on Selected Areas in Cryptography. This is the ?rst time this workshop was held at the University of Ottawa. Previous workshops were held at Queen’s University in Kingston (1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2005), Carleton University in Ottawa (1995, 1997, and 2003), University of Waterloo (2000 and 2004), Fields Institute in Toronto (2001), Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. Johns (2002), and Conc- dia University in Montreal (2006). The intent of the workshop is to provide a stimulating atmosphere where researchersin cryptology can present and discuss new work on selected areas of current interest. The themes for SAC 2007 were: – Design and analysis of symmetric key cryptosystems – Primitives for symmetric key cryptography, including block and stream ciphers, hash functions, and MAC algorithms – E?cient implementations of symmetric and public key algorithms – Innovative cryptographic defenses against malicious software A total of 73 papers were submitted to SAC 2007. Of these, one was wi- drawn by the authors, and 25 were accepted by the Program Committee for presentation at the workshop. In addition to these presentations, we were for- nate to have two invited speakers: – Dan Bernstein: “Edwards Coordinates for Elliptic Curves” – MotiYung:“CryptographyandVirologyInter-Relationships. ”Thistalkwas designated the Sta?ord Tavares Lecture. We are grateful to the Program Committee and the many external reviewers for their hard work and expertise in selecting the program.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th Annual International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2011, held in Toronto, Canada in August 2011.The 23 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalysis of hash functions, security in clouds, bits and randomness, cryptanalysis of ciphers, cryptanalysis of public-key crypthography, cipher implementation, new designs and mathematical aspects of applied cryptography.
