SAC 2005 was the 12th in a series of annual workshops on Selected Areas in Cryptography. This was the 5th time the workshop was hosted by Queen’s U- versity in Kingston (the previous workshops were held here in 1994, 1996, 1998 and 1999).Other SAC workshopshave been organizedat Carleton University in Ottawa (1995, 1997 and 2003), the Fields Institute in Toronto (2001), Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s (2002) and the University of Waterloo (2000 and 2004). The workshop provided a relaxed atmosphere in which - searchers in cryptography could present and discuss new work on selected areas of current interest. The themes for SAC 2005 were: – design and analysis of symmetric key cryptosystems; – primitives for symmetric key cryptography, including block and stream - phers, hash functions, and MAC algorithms; – e?cient implementations of symmetric and public key algorithms; – cryptographic algorithms and protocols for ubiquitous computing (sensor networks, RFID). A total of 96 papers were submitted. Three papers were not considered - cause they were identi?ed as being multiple submissions. After an extensive double-blind reviewing process, the program committee accepted 25 papers for presentation at the workshop. We were very fortunate to have two invited speakers at SAC 2005, who both delivered thought-provoking and entertaining talks: – Alfred Menezes: Another Look at Provable Security; – Mike Wiener: The Full Cost of Cryptanalytic Attacks.

SAC 2000 was the seventh in a series of annual workshops on Selected Areas in Cryptography.PreviousworkshopswereheldatQueen'sUniversityinKingston (1994, 1996, 1998, and 1999) and at Carleton University in Ottawa (1995 and 1997). The intent of the workshops is to provide a relaxed atmosphere in which researchers in cryptography can present and discuss new work on selected areas of current interest. The themes for the SAC 2000 workshop were: - design and analysis of symmetric key cryptosystems, - primitivesforprivatekeycryptography,includingblockandstreamciphers, hash functions, and MACs, - e?cientimplementationsofcryptographicsystemsinpublicandprivatekey cryptography, - cryptographic solutions for web/internet security. Atotalof41papersweresubmittedtoSAC2000,oneofwhichwassubsequently withdrawn. After a review process that had all papers reviewed by at least 3 referees, 24 papers were accepted for presentation at the workshop. As well, we were fortunate to have the following two invited speakers at SAC 2000: - M. Bellare, UCSD (U.S.A.) "The Provable-Security Approach to Authenticated Session-Key Exchange" - D. Boneh, Stanford U. (U.S.A.)"Message Authentication in a Multicast Environment" The program committee for SAC 2000 consisted of the following members: L. Chen, H. Heys, L. Knudsen, S. Moriai, L. O'Connor, D. Stinson, S. Tavares, S. Vaudenay, A. Youssef, and R. Zuccherato.
