| Crypto 2004, the 24th Annual Crypto Conference, was sponsored by the International
Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) in cooperation with the
IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy and the
Computer Science Department of the University of California at Santa Barbara.
The program committee accepted 33 papers for presentation at the conference.
These were selected from a total of 211 submissions. Each paper received
at least three independent reviews. The selection process included a Web-based
discussion phase, and a one-day program committee meeting at New York University.
These proceedings include updated versions of the 33 accepted papers. The
authors had a few weeks to revise them, aided by comments from the reviewers.
However, the revisions were not subjected to any editorial review.
The conference program included two invited lectures. Victor Shoup’s invited
talk was a survey on chosen ciphertext security in public-key encryption. Susan
Landau’s invited talk was entitled “Security, Liberty, and Electronic Communications”
. Her extended abstract is included in these proceedings.
We continued the tradition of a Rump Session, chaired by Stuart Haber.
Those presentations (always short, often serious) are not included here. |

These are (1) visualization of the physical properties involved, (2) expression of the latter in mathematical terms and (3) manipulation of the mathematics in order to solve the various problems that arise. The aim of... | | Fault-Tolerant IP and MPLS NetworksIn the wake of increased traffic, today's service providers and enterprises must assure high availability across a variety of networked services and applications.
