Fast software encryption

Více o knize

Fast Software Encryption 2009 was the 16th workshop focused on symmetric key cryptography, sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) since 2002. Held in Leuven, Belgium, it followed previous events in various locations, including Cambridge, Haifa, Paris, Rome, New York, Yokohama, Lund, New Delhi, Graz, Luxembourg, and Lausanne. The workshop centered on symmetric key cryptography, emphasizing the design of fast and secure key primitives such as block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions, message authentication codes, and their theoretical foundations. This year, 76 papers were submitted, with a notable number addressing hash functions following the NIST SHA-3 competition, which took place shortly after FSE in the same venue. Out of the submissions, 24 papers were accepted for presentation, reflecting the high-quality research that underscores the workshop's scientific value. The review process was rigorous, with each submission evaluated by at least three reviewers. Ultimately, the paper “Blockcipher-Based Hashing Revisited” was awarded the best paper award, highlighting its exceptional merit. Special thanks are extended to all authors, Committee members, and referees for their dedicated contributions.
