This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Practice and Theory in Public-Key Cryptography, PKC 2013, held in Nara, Japan, in February/March 2013. The 28 papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: homomorphic encryption, primitives, functional encryption/signatures, RSA, IBE and IPE, key exchange, signature schemes, encryption, and protocols.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Security, IWSEC 2012, held in Fukuoka, Japan, in November 2012. The 16 revised selected papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: implementation; encryption and key exchange; cryptanalysis; and secure protocols.

The two-volume proceedings set LNCS 13177 and 13178 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th IACR International Conference on Practice and Theory of Public Key Cryptography, PKC 2022, which took place virtually during March 7-11, 2022. The conference was originally planned to take place in Yokohama, Japan, but had to change to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The 40 papers included in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 137 submissions. They focus on all aspects of public-key cryptography, covering cryptanalysis; MPC and secret sharing; cryptographic protocols; tools; SNARKs and NIZKs; key exchange; theory; encryption; and signatures.
