Multi-application smart cards have yet to realise their enormous potential, partly because few people understand the technology, market, and behavioural issues involved. Here, Mike Hendry sets out to fill this knowledge gap with a comprehensive and accessible guide. Following a review of the state-of-the-art in smart card technology, the book describes the business requirements of each smart-card-using sector, and the systems required to support multiple applications. Implementation aspects, including security, are treated in detail and numerous international case studies cover identity, telecoms, banking and transportation applications. Lessons are drawn from these studies to help deliver more successful projects in the future. Invaluable for users and integrators specifying, evaluating and integrating multi-application systems, the book will also be useful to terminal, card and system designers; network, IT and security managers; and software specialists.

This book presents a collection of 36 pieces of scientific work in the areas of complexity theory and foundations of cryptography: 20 research contributions, 13 survey articles, and 3 programmatic and reflective viewpoint statements. These so far formally unpublished pieces were written by Oded Goldreich, some in collaboration with other scientists.
The articles included in this book essentially reflect the topical scope of the scientific career of Oded Goldreich now spanning three decades. In particular the topics dealt with include average-case complexity, complexity of approximation, derandomization, expander graphs, hashing functions, locally testable codes, machines that take advice, NP-completeness, one-way functions, probabilistically checkable proofs, proofs of knowledge, property testing, pseudorandomness, randomness extractors, sampling, trapdoor permutations, zero-knowledge, and non-iterative zero-knowledge.
All in all, this potpourri of studies in complexity and cryptography constitutes a most valuable contribution to the field of theoretical computer science centered around the personal achievements and views of one of its outstanding representatives.

RSA is a public-key cryptographic system, and is the most famous and widely-used cryptographic system in today's digital world. Cryptanalytic Attacks on RSA, a professional book, covers almost all known cryptanalytic attacks and defenses of the RSA cryptographic system and its variants. Since RSA depends heavily on computational complexity theory and number theory, background information on complexity theory and number theory is presented first, followed by an account of the RSA cryptographic system and its variants.

This book is also suitable as a secondary text for advanced-level students in computer science and mathematics.

The RSA Conference is an annual event that attracts hundreds of vendors and thousands of participants from industry and academia. Since 2001, the conf- ence has included an academic Cryptographers'Track (CT-RSA). This year was the 10th anniversary of CT-RSA. Since its conception, the CT-RSA conference has become a major avenue for publishing high-quality research papers. The RSA conference was held in San Francisco, California, during March 1-5, 2010. This year we received94 submissions. Eachpaper gotassignedto three ref- ees. Papers submitted by the members of the Program Committee got assigned to?vereferees.Inthe?rststageofthereviewprocess, thesubmittedpaperswere read and evaluated by the ProgramCommittee members and then in the second stage, the papers were scrutinized during an extensive discussion. Finally, the Program Committee chose 25 papers to be included in the conference program. The authors of the accepted papers had two weeks for revision and preparation of ?nal versions.The revised papers were not subject to editorial review and the authors bear full responsibility for their contents. The submission and review process was supported by the iChair conference submission server. We thank Matthiew Finiasz and Thomas Baign eres for letting us use iChair. The conf- ence proceedings were published by Springer in this volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
