Progress in Cryptology - INDOCRYPT 2006: 7th International Conference on Cryptology in India, Kolkata, India, December 11-13, 2006, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 4329)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Cryptology in India, INDOCRYPT 2006, held in Kolkata, India in December 2006. The 29 revised full papers and 2 invited papers cover such topics as symmetric cryptography, provable security, fast implementation of public key cryptography, id-based cryptography, as well as embedded systems and side channel attacks.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Cryptology in India, INDOCRYPT 2006, held in Kolkata, India in December 2006.

The 29 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 186 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on symmetric cryptography: attacks, hash functions, provable security: key agreement, provable security: public key cryptograpy, symmetric cryptography: design, modes of operation and message authentication codes, fast implementation of public key cryptography, id-based cryptography, as well as embedded systems and side channel attacks.
