Progress in Cryptology - INDOCRYPT 2006: 7th International Conference on Cryptology in India, Kolkata, India, December 11-13, 2006, Proceedings(Security and Cryptology)

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.
