Symmetric cryptology is one of the two main branches of cryptology. Its applications are essential and vital in the Information Age, due to the efficiency of its constructions. The scope of this book in two volumes is two-fold. First, it presents the most important ideas that have been used in the design of symmetric primitives, their inner components and their most relevant constructions. Second, it describes and provides insights on the most popular cryptanalysis and proof techniques for analyzing the security of the above algorithms. A selected number of future directions, such as post-quantum security or design of ciphers for modern needs and particular applications, are also discussed. We believe that the two volumes of this work will be of interest to researchers, to master’s and PhD students studying or working in the field of cryptography, as well as to all professionals working in the field of cybersecurity.

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.
