Provable Security

Abstract

that were accepted to the academic track of the conference. The Program Committee also invited two distinguished researchers to deliver their keynote talks. The first speaker was Jens Groth from University College London, UK. His talk was entitled "Optimal Structure-Preserving Signatures." The second speaker was Vipul Goyal from Microsoft Research, India. His talk was entitled "Secure Composition of Cryptographic Protocols."The conference received 75 submissions this year. Each paper was assigned to four referees and we tried our best to ensure that each paper received a thorough and fair review. We are indebted to the members of the Program Committee and the external reviewers for all their hard work. The committee accepted 22 regular papers and 4 short papers to be included in the conference program. These proceedings contain revised versions of the accepted papers. While revisions are expected to take the referees' comments into account, this was not enforced and the authors bear full responsibility for the content of their papers.In addition to the academic track, the conference hosted a non-archival technical track whose papers were also carefully selected from among the submissions.
