The two volume-set, LNCS 8616 and LNCS 8617, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 34th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2014, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in August 2014. The 60 revised full papers presented in LNCS 8616 and LNCS 8617 were carefully reviewed and selected from 227 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on symmetric encryption and PRFs; formal methods; hash functions; groups and maps; lattices; asymmetric encryption and signatures; side channels and leakage resilience; obfuscation; FHE; quantum cryptography; foundations of hardness; number-theoretic hardness; information-theoretic security; key exchange and secure communication; zero knowledge; composable security; secure computation - foundations; secure computation - implementations.

ACNS2008, the6thInternationalConferenceonAppliedCryptographyandN- work Security, was held in New York, New York, June 3-6, 2008, at Columbia University. ACNS 2008 was organized in cooperation with the International - sociation for Cryptologic Research (IACR) and the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University. The General Chairs of the conference were - gelos Keromytis and Moti Yung. The conference received 131 submissions, of which the Program Committee, chairedbyStevenBellovinandRosarioGennaro, selected 30 for presentation at the conference. The Best Student Paper Award was given to Liang Xie and Hui Song for their paper "On the E?ectiveness of Internal Patch Dissemination Against File-Sharing Worms" (co-authored with Sencun Zhu). These proceedings consist of revised versions of the presented papers. The revisions werenot reviewed.The authors bear full responsibility for the contents of their papers. Thereweremany submissionsof goodquality, and consequentlythe selection process was challenging and very competitive. Indeed, a number of good papers were not accepted due to lack of space in the program. The main considerations in selecting the program were conceptual and technical innovation and quality of presentation. As re?ected in the Call for Papers, an attempt was made to solicit and publish papers suggesting novel paradigms, original directions, or non-traditional perspectives.

The two volume-set, LNCS 9215 and LNCS 9216, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 35th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2015, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in August 2015. The 74 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 266 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: lattice-based cryptography; cryptanalytic insights; modes and constructions; multilinear maps and IO; pseudorandomness; block cipher cryptanalysis; integrity; assumptions; hash functions and stream cipher cryptanalysis; implementations; multiparty computation; zero-knowledge; theory; signatures; non-signaling and information-theoretic crypto; attribute-based encryption; new primitives; and fully homomorphic/functional encryption.
