This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Provable Security, ProvSec 2020, held in Singapore, in November 2020.

This monograph provides a comprehensive and rigorous exposition of the basic concepts and most important modern research results concerning blockchain and its applications. The book includes the required cryptographic fundamentals underpinning the blockchain technology, since understanding of the concepts of cryptography involved in the design of blockchain is necessary for mastering the security guarantees furnished by blockchain. It also contains an introduction to cryptographic primitives, and separate chapters on bitcoin, ethereum and smart contracts, public blockchain, private blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain applications.This volume is of great interest to active researchers who are keen to develop novel applications of blockchain in the field of their investigatio. Further, it is also beneficial for  industry practitioners as well as undergraduate students in computing and information technology.

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of advanced privacy-preserving methods, ensuring secure data processing across various domains. This book also delves into key technologies such as homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, and differential privacy, discussing their theoretical foundations, implementation challenges, and real-world applications in cloud computing, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and healthcare. With the rapid growth of digital technologies, data privacy has become a critical concern for individuals, businesses, and governments.The chapters cover fundamental cryptographic principles and extend into applications in privacy-preserving data mining, secure machine learning, and privacy-aware social networks. By combining state-of-the-art techniques with practical case studies, this book serves as a valuable resource for those navigating the evolving landscape of data privacy and security.Designed to bridge theory and practice, this book is tailored for researchers and graduate students focused on this field. Industry professionals seeking an in-depth understanding of privacy-enhancing technologies will also want to purchase this book.

The three-volume set LNCS 16231, LNCS 16232, and LNCS 16233 constitutes the refereed proceedings of twelve International Workshops which were held in conjunction with the 30th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2025, in Toulouse, France, during September 25-26, 2025.The papers included in these proceedings stem from the following workshops:Part I:·       20th International Workshop on Data Privacy Management, DPM 2025, which accepted 8 regular papers and 6 shorts papers from 27 submissions;·       9th International Workshop on Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technology, CBT 2025, which accepted 8 regular papers from 18 submissions;·       11th International Workshop on the Security of Industrial Control Systems and of Cyber-Physical Systems, CyberICPS 2025, which accepted 9 regular papers from 16 submissions;Part II:·       International Workshop on Assessment with New methodologies, Unified Benchmarks, and environments, of Intrusion detection and response Systems, ANUBIS 2025, which accepted 8 regular papers and 1 short papers from 18 submissions;·       3rd International Workshop on Security and Artificial Intelligence, SECAI 2025, which accepted 16 regular papers and 3 shorts papers from 48 submissions;·       4th International Workshop on System Security Assurance, SecAssure 2025, which accepted 6 papers from 11 submissions;·       International Workshop on Secure and Trustworthy Machine Unlearning Systems, STMUS 2025, which accepted 5 regular papers from 15 submissions;Part III:·       2nd International Workshop on Autonomous Cybersecurity, AutonomousCyber 2025, which accepted 7 papers from 24 submissions;·       6th International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Security for Critical Infrastructures Protection, CPS4CIP 2025, which accepted 8 papers from 16 submissions;·       5th International Workshop on Computational Methods for Emerging Problems in Disinformation Analysis, DisA 2025, which accepted 4 papers from 7 submissions;·       International Workshop on Hardware-Supported Software Security, HS3 2025, which accepted 3 regular papers and 4 short papers from 14 submissions;·       International Workshop on Mobile and IoT Security Technologies, MIST 2025, which accepted 8 regular papers from 16 submissions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information and Communications Security, ICISC 2016, held in Singapore, Singapore, in November/December 2016. The 20 revised full papers and 16 short papers presented were carefully selected from 60 submissions. The papers cover topics such as IoT security;

Welcome to the Advanced Workshop on Content Computing 2004. The focus of this workshop was "Content Computing". It emphasized research areas that facilitate e?cient, appropriate dissemination of content to users with the nec- saryaccessrights. Weusetheword"content"insteadof"information"or"data" because we want to cover not only raw data but also presentation quality. The fast growth of the Internet has already made it the key infrastructure for informationdissemination,education,business andentertainment. While the client-server model has been the most widely adopted paradigm for the WWW, thedesiretoprovidemorevalue-addedservicesinthedeliverylayerhasledtothe concept of an active network, where content-driven, intelligent computation will be performed to provide quality-of-service for content presentation and best-?t client demand. These value-added services typically aim to enhance information security, provide pervasive Internet access, and improve application robustness, system/networkperformance,knowledgeextraction,etc. Theyarerealizedby- corporatingsophisticatedmechanisms atthe deliverylayer,which is transparent to the content providers and Web surfers.Consequently, the notion of "Content Computing" has emerged. Content computing is a new paradigm for coordin- ing distributed systems and intelligent networks, based on a peer-to-peer model and with value-added processing of the application-speci?c contents at the - livery layer. This paradigm is especially useful to pervasive lightweight client devices such as mobile and portable end-user terminals with a wide variation of hardware/software con?gurations. This year, the workshop was held in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, China. We received 194 high-quality papers from 11 regions, namely PR China, Korea, Singapore, Japan, United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Taiwan, Italy, and Hong Kong. Totally, 62 papers were accepted and presented in the workshop.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security, ASIACRYPT'99, held in Singapore in November 1999. The 31 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 96 submissions. The book is divided in topical sections on assymetric key cryptosystems, cryptanalysis, elliptic curve cryptosystems, public key cryptosystems, integers and computation, network security, random numbers, key management, and authentication.

This book presents Proceedings of the International Conference on Intelligent Systems and Networks, Hanoi, Vietnam, a collection of peer-reviewed articles accepted by ICISN 2024. The scope of the proceedings include, but not limited to Foundations of Computer Science;
