This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Electronic Voting, E-Vote-ID 2020, held online -due to COVID -19- in Bregenz, Austria, in October 2020. The 14 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions.The conference collected the most relevant debates on the development of Electronic Voting, from aspects relating to security and usability through to practical experiences and applications of voting systems, also including legal, social or political aspects, amongst others; turning out to be an important global referent in relation to this issue.

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Principles of Security and Trust, POST 2018, which took place in Thessaloniki, Greece, in April 2018, held as part of the European Joint Conference on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2018.The 13 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: information flow and non-intereference; leakage, information flow, and protocols; smart contracts and privacy; firewalls and attack-defense trees.

Dieses Buch behandelt die Kernfragen und grundlegenden Verfahren der Kryptographie. Diese werden aus Sicht der modernen Kryptographie studiert, die durch eine präzise mathematische und informatische Herangehensweise geprägt ist. Die Inhalte dieser Einführung sind dabei aus der Praxis motiviert und es werden wichtige, in der Praxis eingesetzte kryptographische Verfahren vorgestellt und diskutiert.

Description logics (DLs) are used to represent structured knowledge. Inference services testing consistency of knowledge bases and computing subconcept/superconcept hierarchies are the main feature of DL systems. Intensive research during the last fifteen years has led to highly optimized systems that allow to reason about knowledge bases efficiently. However, applications often require additional non-standard inferences to support both the construction and the maintenance of knowledge bases, thus making the inference procedures again incomplete.This book, which is a revised version of the author's PhD thesis, constitutes a significant step to fill this gap by providing an excellent formal foundation of the most prominent non-standard inferences. The descriptions given include precise definitions, complete algorithms and thorough complexity analysis. With its solid foundation, the book also serves as a basis for future research.
