Quantum cryptography is the art and science of exploiting quantum mechanical effects in
order to perform cryptographic tasks. While the most well-known example of this discipline is …

The appealing feature of quantum key distribution (QKD), from a cryptographic viewpoint, is
the ability to prove the information-theoretic security (ITS) of the established keys. As a key …

Cryptography is concerned with the conceptualization, definition, and construction of
computing systems that address security concerns. The design of cryptographic systems …

VI Preface methods from information theory. Unconditionally secure schemes are now
addressed in an extra chapter, Chapter 10.• Unconditional security is not achievable without …

In this paper, we review and explain the existing algebraic cryptanalysis of multivariate
cryptosystems from the hidden field equation (HFE) family. These cryptanalysis break …

The broadcast nature of a wireless link provides a natural eavesdrop** and intervention
capability to an adversary. Thus, securing a wireless link is essential to the security of a …

One of the most important properties of a cryptographic system is a proof of its security. In the
present work, information-theoretic meth¬ ods are used for proving the security of …

Timed-release encryption is a kind of encryption scheme in which a recipient can decrypt
only after a specified amount of time T (assuming that we have a moderately precise …

You can start by putting the DO NOT DISTURB sign. Cay, in Desert Hearts (1985). The
interplay between randomness and computation is one of the most fas cinating scientific …

We consider what constitutes identities in cryptography. Typical examples include your
name and your social-security number, or your fingerprint/iris-scan, or your address, or your …
