This book constitutes the carefully refereed and revised selected papers of the 5th Canada-France ETS Symposium on Foundations and Practice of Security, FPS 2012, held in Montreal, QC, Canada, in October 2012. The book contains a revised version of 21 full papers, accompanied by 3 short papers. The papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. The papers are organized in topical section on cryptography and information theory, key management and cryptographic protocols, privacy and trust, policies and applications security, and network and adaptive security.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th Annual International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2011, held in Toronto, Canada in August 2011. The 23 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalysis of hash functions, security in clouds, bits and randomness, cryptanalysis of ciphers, cryptanalysis of public-key crypthography, cipher implementation, new designs and mathematical aspects of applied cryptography.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 2008 IFIP Conference on Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks held in Ottawa, Canada on July 14-15, 2008.

The IFIP series publishes state-of-the-art results in the sciences and technologies of information and communication. The scope of the series includes: foundations of computer science; software theory and practice; education; computer applications in technology; communication systems; systems modeling and optimization; information systems; computers and society; computer systems technology; security and protection in information processing systems; artificial intelligence; and human-computer interaction. Proceedings and post-proceedings of refereed international conferences in computer science and interdisciplinary fields are featured. These results often precede journal publication and represent the most current research. The principal aim of the IFIP series is to encourage education and the dissemination and exchange of information about all aspects of computing.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2007, held in Ottawa, Canada, in August 2007.

The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 73 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on stream cipher cryptanalysis, hash function attacks, side-channel attacks, efficient implementations, block cipher cryptanalysis, a new stream cipher, white box cryptanalysis, message authentication code attack, and modes of operation.

While there are many positive aspects in which RFID devices are useful, there have also been increased concerns over the privacy and security of personal information. Advanced Security and Privacy for RFID Technologies addresses these concerns with its comprehensive coverage on current issues with security models and everyday threats and vulnerabilities. This informative publication not only addresses the security risks involved with RFID technologies, but also gives insight on some possible solutions and preventions. Researchers, professionals, and practitioners aiming to better understand the risks involved with these developing technologies will benefit from this book s expansive coverage on the topic.

Security and privacy represent crucial requirements in different scenarios as organizations and parties involved may not want to disclose their own private information to each other. Assuring adequate and verifiable security and privacy in these scenarios faces various challenges. One such challenge is whether proposed protocols can be used over public channels, like internet. Another possible issue is whether the complete final result of a protocol can be broadcasted to, or be received by all parties. Collusion attacks can pose another security challenge in multiparty settings. Finally, it may be desirable to design incremental versions of the protocols to improve security and efficiency. To address these problems we have designed new secure building blocks and privacy-preserving protocols, while considering their performance in terms of security and efficiency. Building blocks, and the resulting protocols which take advantage of these blocks can be implemented over public channels, have a balanced distribution of the final results, and are resistant to collusion attacks. These blocks are used to design novel privacy-preserving protocols for learning and data mining techniques.
