This title surveys important achievements in RSA cryptography research from the early 1980s to 2001. Special emphasis is laid on the description and analysis of proposed attacks against the RSA cryptosystem. First chapters introduce the necessary background information on number theory, complexity and public key cryptography. Subsequent chapters review factorization algorithms and specific properties that make RSA attractive for cryptographers. Attacks against RSA are discussed in the third part of the book (among them attacks against low-exponent RSA, Hastad's broadcast attack, and Franklin-Reiter attacks). Finally, the last chapter reviews the use of the RSA function in signature schemes. This title should be of interest to graduate level students and researchers who should gain an insight into current research topics in the field and an overview of recent results in a unified way. It is also suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography surveys the most important achievements of the last 22 years of research in RSA cryptography. Special emphasis is laid on the description and analysis of proposed attacks against the RSA cryptosystem. The first chapters introduce the necessary background information on number theory, complexity and public key cryptography. Subsequent chapters review factorization algorithms and specific properties that make RSA attractive for cryptographers. Most recent attacks against RSA are discussed in the third part of the book (among them attacks against low-exponent RSA, Hastad's broadcast attack, and Franklin-Reiter attacks). Finally, the last chapter reviews the use of the RSA function in signature schemes. Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography is of interest to graduate level students and researchers who will gain an insight into current research topics in the field and an overview of recent results in a unified way. Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Steganography, a means by which two or more parties may communicate using "invisible" or "subliminal" communication, and watermarking, a means of hiding copyright data in images, are becoming necessary components of commercial multimedia applications that are subject to illegal use. This is a comprehensive survey of steganography and watermarking and their application to modern communications and multimedia. It helps the reader to understand steganography, the history of this previously neglected element of cryptography, the hurdles of international law on strong cryptographic techniques, and a description of the methods you can use to hide information in modern media. Included in this discussion is an overview of "steganalysis", methods which can be used to break stenographic communication. This resource also includes an introduction to and survey of watermarking methods, and discusses this method's similarities to and differences from steganography. The reader should gain a working knowledge of watermarking's pros and cons, and learn the legal implications of watermarking and copyright issues on the Internet.

Simulation ist neben Theorie und Experiment die dritte Säule wissenschaftlicher Forschung und technischer Entwicklung. Computer-Berechnungen sind zu einer wesentlichen Antriebskraft im Bereich der Technik und der Naturwissenschaften geworden. Speziell für diese Anwendungsbereiche wurde MATLAB entwickelt. MATLAB ist ein auf mathematisch/numerischen Methoden beruhendes Problemlösungswerkzeug, das sowohl bequeme Benutzeroberflächen bietet, als auch die individuelle Programmierung gestattet. MATLAB hat sich durch seine Erweiterungsmöglichkeit in Form von "Toolboxen" zu einem universell einsetzbaren Werkzeug auf den verschiedensten Gebieten (Signalverarbeitung, Regelungstechnik, Fuzzy Logic etc.) entwickelt.Dieses Buch ist auf die neueste MATLAB-Version 7 abgestimmt und behandelt unter anderem detailliert die Lösung numerischer Problemstellungen mit Hilfe von MATLAB.

This book presents a holistic view on compiler assisted practical secure multi-party computation (MPC) over Boolean circuits. It discusses that two or more parties jointly evaluate a function over their inputs in such a way that each party keeps its input unknown to the other parties in MPC. MPC provides a generic way to construct Privacy-Enhancing Technologies, which protect sensitive data during processing steps in untrusted environments. A major obstacle in the past was to generate MPC applications by hand. Recently, special compilers have been developed to build all kinds of applications.This book also explains in detail how efficient MPC applications can be created automatically from ANSI-C, thus, bridging the areas of cryptography, compilation and hardware synthesis. It  also gives an insight into the requirements for creating efficient applications for MPC and is hence of interest to not only researchers in the area of MPC but also developers realizing practical applications with MPC. For a better understanding of the complete compile chain from ANSI-C to circuits, which is the ‘machine code’ of MPC, the authors first give the necessary background information on MPC protocols, Boolean logic, and logic synthesis. Then the authors describe the various compilation steps required to translate any code into an adequate circuit description. Afterwards, the authors introduce a variety of optimization techniques for two classes of MPC protocols, namely techniques that improve the runtime of applications in constant- and multi-round MPC protocols. The authors also illustrate  how efficient parallelization of MPC protocols can be achieved using the assistance of compilers. It presents  the effectiveness of the proposed techniques by giving a detailed evaluation on benchmarking applications. Most of the aforementioned techniques are implemented in our open source compiler that is accompanying this book and allows to study compilation for MPC in practice.Researchers who are interested in practical secure multi-party computation (MPC), and developers who are interested in realizing MPC applications in practice will find this book useful as a reference, as well as advanced-level students in computer science.

It is our great pleasure to present the proceedings of the 9th IFIP TC-6 TC-11 Conference on Communications and Multimedia Security (CMS 2005), which washeld in Salzburg on September 19-21,2005.Continuing the tradition of p- vious CMS conferences, we sought a balanced program containing presentations on various aspects of secure communication and multimedia systems. Special emphasis was laid on papers with direct practical relevance for the construction of secure communication systems. The selection of the program was a challenging task. In total, we received 143 submissions, from which 28 were selected for presentation as full papers. In addition to these regular presentations, the CMS conference featured for the ?rst time a "work in progress track" that enabled authors to report preliminary results and ongoing work. These papers were presented in the form of a poster sessionduringtheconference;anextendedabstractofthepostersappearsinthis proceedings volume.

It is our pleasure to present in this volume the proceedings of the 7th Inter- tional Workshopon InformationHiding (IH 2005),held in Barcelona,Catalonia, Spain, during June 6-8, 2005. The workshop was organized by the Department of Computer Science and Multimedia, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). Continuing the tradition of previous workshops, we sought a balanced p- gram, containing talks on various aspects of data hiding, anonymous commu- cation, steganalysis, and watermarking.Although the protection of digital int- lectual property has up to now motivated most of our research, there are many other upcoming ?elds of application. We were delighted to see that this year's workshop presented numerous new and unconventional approaches to infor- tion hiding. The selection of the program was a very challenging task. In total, we - ceived 90 submissions from 21 countries. At this point we want to thank all authors who submitted their latest work to IH 2005-and thus assured that the Information Hiding Workshop continues to be the top forum of our community.

Fortschritte in der Medizin, in der Genomforschung und in der Informationstechnik stellen den Datenschutz vor ein Dilemma: Forschung und die Anwendung neuer Methoden setzen häufig voraus, dass personenbezogene Daten in großem Umfang zentral verfügbar, verteilbar und verknüpfbar sind.
