The 23rd Conference on Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC 2016)

There are four areas covered at each SAC conference. Three of the areas are permanent:

• design and analysis of symmetric key primitives and cryptosystems, including block and stream ciphers, hash function, MAC algorithms, cryptographic permutations, and authenticated encryption schemes,

• efficient implementations of symmetric and public key algorithms and

• mathematical and algorithmic aspects of applied cryptology.

The special selected topic for SAC 2016 is:

• Side channel, fault and related attacks on symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic primitives and their countermeasures.
