Illustrating the power of algorithms, Algorithmic Cryptanalysis describes algorithmic methods with cryptographically relevant examples. Focusing on both private- and public-key cryptographic algorithms, it presents each algorithm either as a textual description, in pseudo-code, or in a C code program.Divided into three parts, the book begins with a short introduction to cryptography and a background chapter on elementary number theory and algebra. It then moves on to algorithms, with each chapter in this section dedicated to a single topic and often illustrated with simple cryptographic applications. The final part addresses more sophisticated cryptographic applications, including LFSR-based stream ciphers and index calculus methods.Accounting for the impact of current computer architectures, this book explores the algorithmic and implementation aspects of cryptanalysis methods. It can serve as a handbook of algorithmic methods for cryptographers as well as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses on cryptanalysis and cryptography.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2014, held in Montreal, QC, Canada, in August 2014.The 22 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 103 submissions. There are four areas covered at each SAC conference. The three permanent areas are: design and analysis of symmetric key primitives and cryptosystems, including block and stream ciphers, hash function, MAC algorithms, cryptographic permutations, and authenticated encryption schemes; efficient implementations of symmetric and public key algorithms; mathematical and algorithmic aspects of applied cryptology. This year, the fourth area for SAC 2014 is: algorithms for cryptography, cryptanalysis and their complexity analysis.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptographic Techniques in Africa, AFRICACRYPT 2018, held in Marrakesh, Morocco, in May 2018. The 19 papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. AFRICACRYPT is a major scientific event that seeks to advance and promote the field of cryptology on the African continent. The conference has systematically drawn some excellent contributions to the field. The conference has always been organized in cooperation with the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 28th Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques, EUROCRYPT 2009, held in Cologne, Germany, in April 2009.
