Information Systems (IS) are a nearly omnipresent aspect of the modern world, playing crucial roles in the fields of science and engineering, business and law, art and culture, politics and government, and many others. As such, identity theft and unauthorized access to these systems are serious concerns. Theory and Practice of Cryptography Solutions for Secure Information Systems explores current trends in IS security technologies, techniques, and concerns, primarily through the use of cryptographic tools to safeguard valuable information resources. This reference book serves the needs of professionals, academics, and students requiring dedicated information systems free from outside interference, as well as developers of secure IS applications. This book is part of the Advances in Information Security, Privacy, and Ethics series collection.

This book presents modern concepts of computer security. It introduces the basic mathematical background necessary to follow computer security concepts. Modern developments in cryptography are examined, starting from private-key and public-key encryption, going through hashing, digital signatures, authentication, secret sharing, group-oriented cryptography, pseudorandomness, key establishment protocols, zero-knowledge protocols, and identification, and finishing with an introduction to modern e-bussiness systems based on digital cash. Intrusion detection and access control provide examples of security systems implemented as a part of operating system. Database and network security is also discussed.This textbook is developed out of classes given by the authors at several universities in Australia over a period of a decade, and will serve as a reference book for professionals in computer security. The presentation is selfcontained. Numerous illustrations, examples, exercises, and a comprehensive subject index support the reader in accessing the material.

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.

The 9th Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy (ACISP 2004) was held in Sydney, 13-15 July, 2004. The conference was sponsored by the Centre for Advanced Computing - Algorithms and Cryptography (ACAC), Information and Networked Security Systems Research (INSS), Macquarie U- versity and the Australian Computer Society. Theaimsoftheconferencearetobringtogetherresearchersandpractitioners working in areas of information security and privacy from universities, industry and government sectors. The conference program covered a range of aspects including cryptography, cryptanalysis, systems and network security. The program committee accepted 41 papers from 195 submissions. The - viewing process took six weeks and each paper was carefully evaluated by at least three members of the program committee. We appreciate the hard work of the members of the program committee and external referees who gave many hours of their valuable time. Of the accepted papers, there were nine from Korea, six from Australia, ?ve each from Japan and the USA, three each from China and Singapore, two each from Canada and Switzerland, and one each from Belgium, France, Germany, Taiwan, The Netherlands and the UK. All the authors, whether or not their papers were accepted, made valued contributions to the conference. In addition to the contributed papers, Dr Arjen Lenstra gave an invited talk, entitled Likely and Unlikely Progress in Factoring. ThisyeartheprogramcommitteeintroducedtheBestStudentPaperAward. The winner of the prize for the Best Student Paper was Yan-Cheng Chang from Harvard University for his paper Single Database Private Information Retrieval with Logarithmic Communication.

The third International Workshop on Information Security was held at the U- versity of Wollongong, Australia. The conference was sponsored by the Centre for Computer Security Research, University of Wollongong. The main themes of the conference were the newly emerging issues of Information Security. Mul- media copyright protection and security aspects of e-commerce were two topics that clearly re?ect the focus of the conference. Protection of the copyright of electronic documents seems to be driven by strong practical demand from the industry for new, e cient and secure solutions. Although e-commerce is already booming, it has not reached its full potential in terms of new, e cient and secure e-commerce protocols with added properties. There were 63 papers submitted to the conference. The program committee accepted 23. Of those accepted, six papers were from Australia, ve from Japan, two each from Spain, Germany and the USA, and one each from Finland and Sweden. Four papers were co-authored by international teams from Canada and China, Korea and Australia, Taiwan and Australia, and Belgium, France and Germany, respectively. Final versions of the accepted papers were gathered using computing and other resources of the Institute of Mathematics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland. We are especially grateful to Jerzy Urbanowicz and Andrzej Pokrzywa for their help during preparation of the proceedings.

This work presents recent developments in hashing algorithm design. Hashing is the process of creating a short digest (i.e., 64 bits) for a message of arbitrary length, for exam- ple 20 Mbytes. Hashing algorithms were first used for sear- ching records in databases; they are central for digital si- gnature applications and are used for authentication without secrecy. Covering all practical and theoretical issues related to the design of secure hashing algorithms the book is self contained; it includes an extensive bibliography on the topic.
