Social financial reporting as an economic tool presents the firm as a socio-economic unit with empowered social capital to enable a sustainable economic solution, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Islamic social finance (ISF) is a corporate social responsibility initiative in the form of humanitarian and socio-development programs by Islamic financial institutions and Shariah-compliant corporations. ISF is applied through various methods and tools that structure based on Islamic Sharia Law. For example, Islamic social finance tools would either be philanthropic, involving activities such as zakat (obligatory alms-giving), Sadaqah (voluntary alms-giving/charity), and waqf (endowment) or ta'awun (cooperation-based activities), which include Qardh al-hasan (benevolent loan) and kafala (guarantee). Thus, Islamic social finance instruments play a vital role in alleviating poverty and addressing socio-economic issues such as illiteracy, unemployment, malnutrition, and health issues. As such, integrated ISF reporting can empower sustainable economic development and lead to recovery. The Handbook of Research on Islamic Social Finance and Economic Recovery After a Global Health Crisis provides insights on the role of Islamic social finance in supporting and facilitating economic recovery in the post-COVID-19 era as well as reducing poverty and addressing the challenges of socio-economic problems such as education, unemployment, malnutrition, and health issues. This book is ideally intended for practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in improving their understanding on the role of Islamic social finance theoretically and empirically in solving the issue of poverty and developing excellent funds management to achieve economic empowerment with better environmental sustainability.

SAC 2004 was the eleventh in a series of annual workshops on Selected Areas in Cryptography. This was the second time that the workshop was hosted by the University of Waterloo, Ontario, with previous workshops being held at Queen'sUniversityinKingston(1994,1996,1998and1999), CarletonUniversity in Ottawa (1995, 1997 and 2003), the Fields Institute in Toronto (2001) and Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's (2002). The primary intent of the workshop was to provide a relaxed atmosphere in which researchers in cryptography could present and discuss new work on selected areas of current interest. This year's themes for SAC were: - Design and analysis of symmetric key cryptosystems. - Primitives for symmetric key cryptography, including block and stream - phers, hash functions, and MAC algorithms. - E?cient implementation of cryptographic systems in public and symmetric key cryptography. - Cryptographic solutions for mobile (web) services. A record of 117 papers were submitted for consideration by the program committee. After an extensive review process, 25 papers were accepted for p- sentation at the workshop (two of these papers were merged). Unfortunately, many good papers could not be accommodated this year. These proceedings contain the revised versions of the 24 accepted papers. The revised versions were not subsequently checked for correctness. Also, we were very fortunate to have two invited speakers at SAC 2004. Eli Biham arranged for some breaking news in his talk on "New Results on SHA-0 and SHA-1." This talk was designated as the Sta?ord Tavares L- ture."

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Security, Privacy, and Applied Cryptography Engineering, SPACE 2016, held in Hyderabad, India, in December 2016. This annual event is devoted to various aspects of security, privacy, applied cryptography, and cryptographic engineering. This is indeed a very challenging field, requiring the expertise from diverse domains, ranging from mathematics to solid-state circuit design.
