WADACP 2013 - 2013 Workshop on Advances in Development of Asymmetric Cryptographic Primitives

Asymmetric cryptographic primitives resolved the problem of key distribution that plagued secure communication up until 1976. It was in 1976 that Diffie, Hellman and Merkle founded a secure key exchange method and revolutionized secure communication. Then in 1978, Rivest, Shamir and Adleman published the world’s first public key encryption scheme now known as the RSA. Since then research interest in asymmetric cryptographic primitives increased. Namely this is due to the following objectives (not limited to and not in descending order of importance):
To be able to utilize shorter keys
To have faster speed
To be able to increase data payload to be transmitted
To be IND ? CCA secure in the standard model
To have simple mathematical structure for easy implementation
To have a hard mathematical problem reasoning which is beyond conjecture
To extend the mathematical proof on the restricted availability in obtaining solution ? and not only on existing computing in capabilities
To be post quantum secure
Hence, the main purpose of this workshop is to provide an international discussion for academics, scientific researchers, engineers, and industrial partners for exchanging new ideas as well as the latest developments in this area of research. Secondary purpose is to promote research collaboration between participants from different countries and disciplines.
