This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Security Protocols, April 2004. The book presents 21 revised full papers presented together with edited transcriptions of some of the discussions following the presentations. Among the topics addressed are authentication, anonymity, verification of cryptographic protocols, mobile ad-hoc network security, denial of service, SPKI, access control, timing attacks, API security, biometrics for security, and others.

The volume LNCS 12287 constitutes the proceedings of the 27th International Workshop on Security Protocols, held in Cambridge, UK, in April 2019. The volume consists of 16 thoroughly revised invited papers presented together with the respective transcripts of discussions. The theme of this year's workshop was “Security Protocols for Humans" The topics covered included Designing for Humans and Understanding Humans, Human Limitations in Security, Secure sharing and collaboration and much more.

The purpose of designing this book is to discuss and analyze security protocols available for communication. Objective is to discuss protocols across all layers of TCP/IP stack and also to discuss protocols independent to the stack. Authors will be aiming to identify the best set of security protocols for the similar applications and will also be identifying the drawbacks of existing protocols. The authors will be also suggesting new protocols if any.

"This book highlights new research regarding wireless identification and sensing platform (WISP) tags, security, and applications, serving as a reference on WISP technology and presenting recent advances in this field"--Provided by publisher.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Cryptology and Network Security, CANS 2006, held in Suzhou, China, December 2006. The 26 revised full papers and 2 invited papers cover encryption, authentication and signatures, proxy signatures, cryptanalysis, implementation, steganalysis and watermarking, boolean functions and stream ciphers, intrusion detection, and disponibility and reliability.

This Festschrift volume is published in honor of Catherine A. Meadows and contains essays presented at the Catherine Meadows Festschrift Symposium held in Fredericksburg, VA, USA, in May 2019. Catherine A. Meadows has been a pioneer in developing symbolic formal verification methods and tools. Her NRL Protocol Analyzer, a tool and methodology that embodies symbolic model checking techniques, has been fruitfully applied to the analysis of many protocols and protocol standards and has had an enormous influence in the field. She also developed a new temporal logic to specify protocol properties, as well as new methods for analyzing various kinds of properties beyond secrecy such as authentication and resilience under Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and has made important contributions in other areas such as wireless protocol security, intrusion detection, and the relationship between computational and symbolic approaches to cryptography. This volume contains 14 contributions authored by researchers from Europe and North America. They reflect on the long-term evolution and future prospects of research in cryptographic protocol specification and verification.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 20th International Workshop on Security Protocols, held in Cambridge, UK, in April 2012. Following the tradition of this workshop series, each paper war revised by the authors to incorporate ideas from the workshop, and is followed in these proceedings by an edited transcription of the presentation and ensuing discussion. The volume contains 14 papers with their transcriptions as well as an introduction, i.e. 29 contributions in total. The theme of the workshop was "Bringing protocols to life".

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Joint Workshop on Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis and Issues in the Theory of Security held in Paphos, Cyprus, in March 2010.

The second International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS 2004) was sponsored and organized by ICISA (the International Communications and Information Security Association). It was held in Yellow Mountain, China, June 8–11, 2004. The conference proceedings, representing papers from the academic track, are published in this volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) of Springer-Verlag. The area of research that ACNS covers has been gaining importance in recent years due to the development of the Internet, which, in turn, implies global exposure of computing resources. Many ?elds of research were covered by the program of this track, presented in this proceedings volume. We feel that the papers herein indeed re?ect the state of the art in security and cryptography research, worldwide. The program committee of the conference received a total of 297 submissions from all over the world, of which 36 submissions were selected for presentation during the academic track. In addition to this track, the conference also hosted a technical/industrial track of presentations that were carefully selected as well. All submissions were reviewed by experts in the relevant areas.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Information Security and Cryptology, Inscrypt 2016, held in Beijing, China, in November 2016. The 32 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on symmetric ciphers; public-key cryptosystems; signature and authentication; homomorphic encryption; leakage-resilient; post-quantum cryptography; commitment and protocol; elliptic curves; security and implementation.
