Cryptography

Scope

Cryptography (ISSN 2410-387X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides the state-of-the-art forum for original results in all areas of modern cryptography, including secret-key cryptography, public-key cryptography, hash functions, cryptanalysis, cryptographic protocols, and quantum safe cryptography as well as their practice, implementation, application, and related standards. Cryptography will publish high-quality reviews, regular research papers and short communications in all areas of theory and practice of modern cryptography. Topics covered by Cryptography include the following (but are not limited to): Cryptographic Tools: • Secret-key cryptography • Lightweight cryptography • Public-key cryptography • Lattice-based cryptography • Hash functions • Authentication • Anonymity and untraceability • Digital signatures • Secret sharing • Randomness and pseudorandomness • Cryptanalysis • Quantum safe cryptography. Cryptographic Protocols: • Secure multiparty computation • Key management • Zero-knowledge proofs • Blockchains • Digital rights management • Digital money • Voting/auction systems. Cryptographic Engineering: • Cryptographic standards • Side-channel/fault attacks • Tamper-proof hardware • Secure smart systems/devices • Security evaluation. Foundations of Cryptology: • Mathematics of cryptology • Statistical models in cryptography • Formal verification of cryptographic primitives • Theory of cryptographic computations • Quantum Physics cryptography. Social Impact of Cryptography: • Ethical implications of cryptography • Human-oriented cryptography • Cryptography-supported democracy • e-Goverment cryptography
