Understanding and employing cryptography has become central for securing virtually any digital application, whether user app, cloud service, or even medical implant.Heavily revised and updated, the long-awaited second edition of Understanding Cryptography follows the unique approach of making modern cryptography accessible to a broad audience, requiring only a minimum of prior knowledge. After introducing basic cryptography concepts, this seminal textbook covers nearly all symmetric, asymmetric, and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms currently in use in applications—ranging from cloud computing and smart phones all the way to industrial systems, block chains, and cryptocurrencies.Topics and features:Opens with a foreword by cryptography pioneer and Turing Award winner, Ron RivestHelps develop a comprehensive understanding of modern applied cryptographyProvides a thorough introduction to post-quantum cryptography consisting of the three standardized cipher familiesIncludes for every chapter a comprehensive problem set, extensive examples, and a further-reading discussionCommunicates, using a unique pedagogical approach, the essentials about foundations and use in practice, while keeping mathematics to a minimumSupplies up-to-date security parameters for all cryptographic algorithmsIncorporates chapter reviews and discussion on such topics as historical and societal contextThis must-have book is indispensable as a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses, as well as for self-study by designers and engineers.The authors have more than 20 years’ experience teaching cryptography at various universities in the US and Europe. In addition to being renowned scientists, they have extensive experience with applying cryptography in industry, fromwhich they have drawn important lessons for their teaching.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Smart Card Research and Advanced Applications, CARDIS 2019, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in November 2019.The 15 revised full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: system-on-a-chip security; post-quantum cryptography; side-channel analysis; microarchitectural attacks; cryptographic primitives; advances in side-channel analysis.CARDIS has provided a space for security experts from industry and academia to exchange on security of smart cards and related applications.

Lattice-based cryptography is a promising post-quantum cryptographic approach that can withstand potential attacks from future quantum computers. This book will introduce the theoretical mathematics that underpins lattice-based cryptography, such as the hard problems based on lattices upon which the security of lattice-based cryptosystems rely. It will provide examples of how these hard problems can be used to build basic lattice-based cryptographic primitives, namely encryption, digital signatures and key exchange, in addition to more advanced primitives such as identity-based encryption (IBE), attribute-based encryption (ABE) and hierarchical identity-based encryption (HIBE). Subsequently, the practical aspects of designing efficient and robust lattice-based cryptosystems in both hardware and software will be detailed. The resilience of lattice-based implementations to physical attacks will be discussed in addition to appropriate countermeasures that can be integrated into implementations to defend against such attacks. Finally, three case studies will be described to illustrate how lattice-based cryptography can be successfully embedded into real-world scenarios.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Lightweight Cryptography for Security and Privacy, LightSec 2015, held in Bochum, Germany, in September 2015. The 9 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 17 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: cryptanalysis, lightweight constructions, implementation challenges.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems, CHES 2015, held in Saint Malo, France, in September 2015.
