CRYPTO 2013, the 33rd Annual International Cryptology Conference, was held
August 18–22, 2013, on the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara.
The event was sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic
Research (IACR) in cooperation with the UCSB Computer Science Department
and the IEEE Computer Society’s Technical Committee on Security and Privacy.
The program represents the recent significant advances in all areas of cryptology.
Sixty-one papers were included in the program, a record number for IACR
flagship conferences. This two-volume proceedings contains the revised versions
of all the papers. One pair of papers shared a single presentation slot in the
program. There were also two invited talks. On Monday, Cindy Cohn from the
Electronic Frontier Foundation gave a talk entitled “Crypto Wars Part 2 Have
Begun.” On Wednesday, Adam Langley from Google spoke about “Why the Web
Still Runs on RC4,” in a joint session with CHES 2013. To accommodate the
increase in the number of papers, sessions were held throughout Tuesday and
Thursday afternoons. The rump session took place as usual on Tuesday evening,
and was chaired by Dan Bernstein and Tanja Lange.
