Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yvo G. Desmedt is the Chair of Information Communication Technology at University College London. He was a pioneer of threshold cryptography and is an International Association for Cryptologic Research Fellow. He also made crucial observations that were used in the cryptanalysis of the Merkle–Hellman knapsack cryptosystem and observed properties of the Data Encryption Standard which were used by Eli Biham and Adi Shamir when they invented Differential Cryptanalysis. The International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) is a non-profit scientific organization whose purpose is to further research in cryptology and related fields. The IACR sponsors some of the major conferences and workshops in the field of cryptography, publishes the Journal of Cryptology, and maintains the Cryptology ePrint Archive. The IACR sponsors three annual conferences, Crypto, Eurocrypt and Asiacrypt; and four annual workshops, Fast Software Encryption (FSE), Public Key Cryptography (PKC), Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems (CHES) and the Theory of Cryptography Conference (TCC). A few other conferences and workshops are affiliated to the IACR.
