This book is about relations between three different areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science: combinatorial group theory, cryptography, and complexity theory. It is explored how non-commutative (infinite) groups, which are typically studied in combinatorial group theory, can be used in public key cryptography. It is also shown...

The RSA conference was initiated in 1991 and is a major international event for cryptography and information security researchers as well as the industry related to these disciplines. It is an annual event that attracts hundreds of vendors and thousands of participants from industry and academia. Since 2001, the RSA conference has included...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 31st Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2011, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA in August 2011. The 42 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 230 submissions. The volume also contains the abstract of one invited talk. The papers are organized...

The 11th International Workshop on Information Security Applications (WISA 2010)was held on Jeju Island, Korea, during August 24–26, 2010. The workshop was hosted by the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology (KIISC), supported by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) and the Korea...

Historically, computer security is related to both cryptography and access control in operating systems. Cryptography, although mostly applied in the military and diplomacy, was used to protect communication channels and storage facilities (especially the backups). In the seventies there was a breakthrough in cryptography - the...

The 13th IMA Conference on Cryptography and Coding was held at the Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford, UK, during December 12–15, 2011. This event was a 25th anniversary celebration of the very successful biennial IMA conference series. Traditionally, the conference has taken place at the Royal Agricultural College,...

If you are a network professional who knows C programming, this practical book is for you.  Focused on how to implement Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), this book guides you through all necessary steps, whether or...

This book provides an excellent foundation for solving cipher systems. The text describes the fundamental principles of cipher solution plus use of the unilateral frequency distribution in the solution process is covered in some detail. Various unilateral and multilateral systems are carefully discussed. In addition, the text introduces the...

This essential new edition contains information on electronic product code (EPC) and the EPC global network, and explains near-field communication (NFC) in...

The "European Institute for System Security (E.I.S.S.)" was founded on February 29, 1988 by cabinet resolution of the state government Baden-Wurttemberg. It is headed by Professor Thomas Beth and is affiliated with the Institute for Algorithms and Cognitive Systems (IAKS) of the Faculty for Computer Science at the University of...
