About the Book
A rich stream of papers and many good books have been written on cryptography, security, and privacy, but most of them assume a scholarly reader who has the time to start at the beginning and work his way through the entire text. The goal of Encyclopedia of Cryptography, Security, and Privacy, Third Edition is to make important notions of cryptography, security, and privacy accessible to readers who have an interest in a particular concept related to these areas, but who lack the time to study one of the many books in these areas.The third edition is intended as a replacement of Encyclopedia of Cryptography and Security, Second Edition that was edited by Henk van Tilborg and Sushil Jajodia and published by Springer in 2011. The goal of the third edition is to enhance on the earlier edition in several important and interesting ways. First, entries in the second edition have been updated when needed to keep pace with the advancement of state of the art. Second, as noticeable already from the title of the encyclopedia, coverage has been expanded with special emphasis to the area of privacy. Third, considering the fast pace at which information and communication technology is evolving and has evolved drastically since the last edition, entries have been expanded to provide comprehensive view and include coverage of several newer topics.

She has been serving as Associate Editor of several journals, and as General Chair, Program Chair, and program committee member of several international conferences.
Moti Yung is currently a Security and Privacy Research Scientist with Google. He got his PhD from Columbia University. Previously, he was with IBM Research, Certco, RSA Laboratories, and Snap. He is also an adjunct senior research faculty at Columbia, where he has co-advised and worked with numerous PhD students. Yung's contributions to research and development treat science and technology holistically: from the theoretical mathematical foundations, via conceptual mechanisms which typify computer science, to participation in developments of industrial products. Specifically: his work has been predicting future or emerging needs, employing cryptographic novel methods in general systems, and analyzing coming threats. These led to basic theoretical and applied notions, like: malicious cryptography (including ransomware attacks, and cryptosystems subversion known as kleptography); entity authentication technologies, including concurrent sessions in protocols; strong (chosen ciphertext secure) encryption; distributed cryptosystems for improving trust; digital signatures from simplified cryptography (related to hash-based signature); and numerous privacy preserving cryptographic protocols. His industrial work gave rise to new mechanisms. These include: public-key based second factor authentication device; numerous massively large scale (web and mobile) encryption schemes; large scale secure computation protocols for privacy preserving data analytics (perhaps the first such mainstream industrial application); and an ephemeral identities layer for beacons' privacy, and for the exposure notification smartphone API.
Dr. Yung is a fellow of the IEEE, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR), and the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). In 2010 he gave the IACR Distinguished Lecture. He is the recipient of the 2014 ACM's SIGSAC Outstanding Innovation award, and the 2014 ESORICS Outstanding Research award. For specific papers he received test-of-time awards in the 2020 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy for work published in 1996, and the 2020 IACR Public Key Cryptography conference for work published in 1998. In industry he got an IBM Outstanding Innovation award, a Google OC award, and a Google founders' award.
