Selected Areas in Cryptography

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2006, held in Montreal, Canada in August 2006.
The 25 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 86 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on block cipher cryptanalysis, stream cipher cryptanalysis, block and stream ciphers, side-channel attacks, efficient implementations, message authentication codes, and hash functions.
