Fast software encryption. Cambridge, GB, December 9-11, 1993. Proceedings (Q1328412)

The articles of this volume will be reviewed individually. The core problem of classical cryptography is to find encryption algorithms which are both fast and secure. Security was the main issue of the recent investigations. As a result several reasonably secure encryption algorithms were proposed, but most of them were not fast enough for practical implementation. As it is indicated in the title the topic of this volume is fast software encryption.
