Advances in cryptology

This volume presents the proceedings of the ASIACRYPT '94 Workshop devoted to the Theory and Application of Cryptology, held at the University of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia in November/December 1994. Besides 30 revised full papers selected from a total of 99 submissions, there are three invited papers and four papers from the traditional rump session. The papers cover the whole spectrum of cryptology; they are organized in sections on secret sharing, stream ciphers, cryptographic functions, protocols, authentication and digital signatures, cryptanalysis, hash functions, key distribution, public key cryptography, and block cipher algorithms.
