The CRYPTO ’93 conference was sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) and Bell-Northern Research (a subsidiary of Northern Telecom), in co-operation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee. It took place at the University of California, Santa Barbara, from August 22-26, 1993. This was the thirteenth annual CRYPTO conference, all of which have been held at UCSB. The conference was very enjoyable and ran very of the General Chair, Paul Van Oorschot. smoothly, largely due to the efforts It was a pleasure working with Paul throughout the months leading up to the conference. There were 136 submitted papers which were considered by the Program Committee. Of these, 38 were selected for presentation at the conference. There was also one invited talk at the conference, presented by Miles Smid, the title of which was “A Status Report On the Federal Government Key Escrow System.” The conference also included the customary Rump Session, which was presided over by Whit Diffie in his usual inimitable fashion. Thanks again to Whit for organizing and running the Rump session. This year, the Rump Session included an interesting and lively panel discussion on issues pertaining to key escrowing. Those taking part were W. Diffie, J. Gilmore, S. Goldwasser, M. Hellman, A. Herzberg, S. Micali, R. Rueppel, G. Simmons and D. Weitzner.

The papers in this volume were presented at the CRYPTO '88 conference on theory and applications of cryptography, held in Santa Barbara, California, August 21-25, 1988. The papers were chosen for their perceived originality and often represent preliminary reports on continuing research. The main sections deal with the following topics: Zero-Knowledge, Number Theory, Pseudorandomness, Signatures, Complexity, Protocols, Security, Cryptoanalysis. As such, they will give the committed reader a unique insight into the very latest developments in the field.

The three volume-set, LNCS 9814, LNCS 9815, and LNCS 9816, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 36th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2016, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in August 2016. The 70 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 274 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: provable security for symmetric cryptography; asymmetric cryptography and cryptanalysis; cryptography in theory and practice; compromised systems; symmetric cryptanalysis; algorithmic number theory; symmetric primitives; asymmetric cryptography; symmetric cryptography; cryptanalytic tools; hardware-oriented cryptography; secure computation and protocols; obfuscation; quantum techniques; spooky encryption; IBE, ABE, and functional encryption; automated tools and synthesis; zero knowledge; theory.

Eurocrypt is a series of open workshops on the theory and application of cryptographic techniques. These meetings have taken place in Europe every year since 1982 and are sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research. Eurocrypt '93 was held in the village of Lofthus in Norway in May 1993. The call for papers resulted in 117 submissions with authors representing 27 different countries. The 36 accepted papers were selected by the program committee after a blind refereeing process. The papers are grouped into parts on authentication, public key, block ciphers, secret sharing, stream ciphers, digital signatures, protocols, hash functions, payment systems, and cryptanalysis. The volume includes 6 further rump session papers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2000, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA in August 2000. The 32 revised full papers presented together with one invited contribution were carefully reviewed and selected from 120 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on XTR and NTRU, privacy for databases, secure distributed computation, algebraic cryptosystems, message authentication, digital signatures, cryptanalysis, traitor tracing and broadcast encryption, symmetric encryption, to commit or not to commit, protocols, and stream ciphers and Boolean functions.
