Circuits and Systems for Security and Privacy begins by introducing the basic theoretical concepts and arithmetic used in algorithms for security and cryptography, and by reviewing the fundamental building blocks of cryptographic systems. It then analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of real-world implementations that not only optimize power, area, and throughput but also resist side-channel attacks. Merging the perspectives of experts from industry and academia, the book provides valuable insight and necessary background for the design of security-aware circuits and systems as well as efficient accelerators used in security applications.

Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to the p- motion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. th Euro-Par 2009 was the 15 edition in this conference series. Througout the years, the Euro-Par conferences have always attracted high-quality submissions and have become one of the established conferences in the area of parallel and distributed processing. Built upon the success of the annual conferences and in order to accommodate the needs of special interest groups (among the conf- ence participants), starting from 2006, a series of workshopsin conjunction with the Euro-Par main conference have been organized. This was the ?fth year in which workshops were organized within the Euro-Par conference format. The workshops focus on advanced specialized topics in parallel and d- tributed computing. These topics re?ect new scienti?c and technological dev- opments. While the community for such new and speci?c developments is still small and the topics have yet to become mature, the Euro-Par conference o?ers a platform in the form of a workshop to exchange ideas and discuss cooperation opportunities. The workshops in the past four years have been very successful. The number ofworkshopproposalsandthenumberof?nallyacceptedworkshopshavegra- ally increasedsince 2006.In 2008, nine workshopswereorganizedin conjunction with the main Euro-Par conference.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Euro-Par 2021, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in August 2021. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 38 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 136 submissions. They deal with parallel and distributed computing in general, focusing on compilers, tools and environments; performance and power modeling, prediction and evaluation; scheduling and load balancing; data management, analytics and machine learning; cluster, cloud and edge computing; theory and algorithms for parallel and distributed processing; parallel and distributed programming, interfaces, and languages; parallel numerical methods and applications; and high performance architecture and accelerators.
