Special Issue: Algorithmic Tools in Cryptography
Juan A. Garay, Rafail Ostrovsky
Abstract:
This editorial has no separate abstract. The opening paragraph is reproduced below.
The wide availability of computer networks, and in particular of the global Internet, offers the opportunity to perform electronically and in a distributed way a wide range of transactions. As such, cryptology assumes an increasingly important role, not just as the traditional warrantor of the mechanisms’ soundness and safety against the potential misbehavior of some of their participants, but also as a critical enabler of new functionalities and ways of interaction that preserve the privacy of participants’ data. As the premier annual conference in the field, Crypto embodies the most significant advances and trends in all of its areas. This special issue presents a selection of ten highly ranked papers that were accepted for publication at Crypto 2014, which was co-chaired by Juan Garay. The papers have been expanded and reviewed according to rigorous journal standards.
