This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Security and Cryptography, SCN 2014, held in Amalfi, Italy, in September 2014. The 31 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on key exchange; multilinear maps and obfuscation; pseudorandom function extensions; secure computation - foundations and algorithms; network security; functional encryption; cryptanalysis; secure computation - implementation; zero knowledge; message authentication; proofs of space and erasure; public-key encryption.

This text is one of the few surviving eyewitness sources on the Assyrian genocide, written by a seminarian living in greater Tur Abdin (the southeast of today's Turkish state). The perspective is one that is little known and less discussed. Translated and annotated by a master of Syriac with an in-depth knowledge of modern Assyrian history, this text creates a unique opportunity for new and progressive scholarship. The Assyrian genocide is one of the forgotten atrocities of the 20th century. The physical destruction was but one element; it also caused demographic shifts, loss of territory, generational trauma and linguicide, along with cultural genocide/ethnocide and identity erosion.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Cryptology and Network Security, CANS 2013, held in Paraty, Brazil, in November 2013.

The 18 revised full papers presented together with four invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalysis, zero-knowledge protocols, distributed protocols, network security and applications, advanced cryptographic primitives, and verifiable computation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Pairing-Based Cryptography, Pairing 2012, held in Cologne, Germany, in May 2012.
The 17 full papers for presentation at the academic track and 3 full papers for presentation at the industrial track were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. These papers are presented together with 6 invited talks. The contributions are organized in topical sections on: algorithms for pairing computation, security models for encryption, functional encryption, implementations in hardware and software, industry track, properties of pairings, and signature schemes and applications.

ACNS2009, the7thInternationalConferenceonAppliedCryptographyandN- work Security, was held in Paris-Rocquencourt, France, June 2-5, 2009. ACNS 2009 was organized by the Ecole Normale Sup erieure (ENS), the French - tional Center for Scienti?c Research (CNRS), and the French National Institute for Researchin Computer Science andControl(INRIA), in cooperationwith the InternationalAssociation for CryptologicResearch(IACR). The General Chairs of the conference were Pierre-Alain Fouque and Damien Vergnaud. Theconferencereceived150submissionsandeachsubmissionwasassignedto at least three committee members. Submissions co-authored by members of the Program Committee were assigned to at least four committee members. Due to thelargenumber ofhigh-qualitysubmissions, thereviewprocesswaschallenging andwearedeeplygratefulto the committeemembersandthe externalreviewers for their outstanding work. After meticulous deliberation, the Program C- mittee, which was chaired by Michel Abdalla and David Pointcheval, selected 32 submissions for presentation in the academic track and these are the articles that are included in this volume. Additionally, a few other submissions were selected for presentation in the non-archival industrial track. The best student paper was awarded to Ayman Jarrous for his paper "Secure Hamming Distance Based Computation and Its Applications," co-authoredwith Benny Pinkas. The review process was run using the iChair software, written by Thomas Baigneres and Matthieu Finiasz from EPFL, LASEC, Switzerland and we are indebted to them for letting us use their software. The programalso included four invited talks in addition to the academicand industrial tracks."
