The 2009 RSA conference was held in San Francisco, USA, during April 20-24. The conference is devoted to security-related topics and, as part of this, hosts a distinguished track for cryptographic research. Since 2001 the proceedings of this Cryptographers' Track (CT-RSA) have been published in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science of Springer. The proceedings of CT-RSA 2009 contain 31 papers selected from 93 s- missions, covering a wide variety of cryptographic areas. Each submission was anonymizedforthereviewingprocessandwasassignedto atleastthreeofthe25 ProgramCommittee members. Submissions co-authoredby committee members were assigned to at least ?ve members. After carefully considering more than 15,000 lines (more than 100,000 words) of reviews and online discussions, the committeeselected31submissionsforacceptance. Theprogramalsoincludedan invited talk by Kenny Paterson entitled “Cryptography and Secure Channels. ” Iwouldliketothankalltheauthorswhosubmittedpapers. Iamalsoindebted to the Program Committee members and all external reviewers for their vol- tary work. The committee's work was tremendously simpli?ed by Shai Halevi's submission software and his support. I would also like to thank the CT-RSA Steering Committee for electing me as Chair, and all the people from the RSA conference team for their support, especially Bree LaBollita.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographer's Track at the RSA Conference 2020, CT-RSA 2020, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in February 2020. The 28 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. CT-RSA is the track devoted to scientific papers on cryptography, public-key to symmetric-key cryptography and from crypto-graphic protocols to primitives and their implementation security.

As the use of wireless devices becomes widespread, so does the need for strong and secure transport protocols. Even with this intensified need for securing systems, using cryptography does not seem to be a viable solution due to difficulties in implementation. The security layers of many wireless protocols use outdated encryption algorithms, which have proven unsuitable for hardware usage, particularly with handheld devices. Summarizing key issues involved in achieving desirable performance in security implementations, Wireless Security and Cryptography: Specifications and Implementations focuses on alternative integration approaches for wireless communication security. It gives an overview of the current security layer of wireless protocols and presents the performance characteristics of implementations in both software and hardware. This resource also presents efficient and novel methods to execute security schemes in wireless protocols with high performance. It provides the state of the art research trends in implementations of wireless protocol security for current and future wireless communications. Unique in its coverage of specification and implementation concerns that include hardware design techniques, Wireless Security and Cryptography: Specifications and Implementations provides thorough coverage of wireless network security and recent research directions in the field.

Cyber attacks are rapidly becoming one of the most prevalent issues in the world. As cyber crime continues to escalate, it is imperative to explore new approaches and technologies that help ensure the security of the online community. The Handbook of Research on Threat Detection and Countermeasures in Network Security presents the latest methodologies and trends in detecting and preventing network threats. Investigating the potential of current and emerging security technologies, this publication is an all-inclusive reference source for academicians, researchers, students, professionals, practitioners, network analysts, and technology specialists interested in the simulation and application of computer network protection.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Information Security and Cryptology, ICISC 2006, held in Busan, Korea in November/December 2006. The 26 revised full papers presented together with two invited talks have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and were selected from 129 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on hash functions, block and stream ciphers, efficient implementation and hardware, network security and access control, mobile communications security, forensics, copyright protection, biometrics, public key cryptosystems, and digital signatures.

Beginning with an introduction to cryptography, Hardware Security: Design, Threats, and Safeguards explains the underlying mathematical principles needed to design complex cryptographic algorithms. It then presents efficient cryptographic algorithm implementation methods, along with state-of-the-art research and strategies for the design of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits and symmetric cryptosystems, complete with examples of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) ciphers, asymmetric ciphers, and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). Gain a Comprehensive Understanding of Hardware Security—from Fundamentals to Practical Applications Since most implementations of standard cryptographic algorithms leak information that can be exploited by adversaries to gather knowledge about secret encryption keys, Hardware Security: Design, Threats, and Safeguards: Details algorithmic- and circuit-level countermeasures for attacks based on power, timing, fault, cache, and scan chain analysis Describes hardware intellectual property piracy and protection techniques at different levels of abstraction based on watermarking Discusses hardware obfuscation and physically unclonable functions (PUFs), as well as Trojan modeling, taxonomy, detection, and prevention Design for Security and Meet Real-Time Requirements If you consider security as critical a metric for integrated circuits (ICs) as power, area, and performance, you’ll embrace the design-for-security methodology of Hardware Security: Design, Threats, and Safeguards.

The refereed post-proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Security are presented in this volume. The 116 papers were submitted to two rounds of careful review. Papers cover bio-inspired computing, evolutionary computation, learning systems and multi-agents, cryptography, information processing and intrusion detection, systems and security, image and signal processing, and pattern recognition.
