Description

The 10th Annual ASIACRYPT 2004 was held in Jeju Island; Korea; d- ing December 5–9; 2004. This conference was organized by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) in cooperation with KIISC (- rean Institute of Information Security and Cryptology) and IRIS (International Research center for Information Security) at ICU (Information and Communi- tionsUniversity);andwas?nanciallysupportedbyMIC(MinistryofInformation and Communication) in Korea. The conference received; from 30 countries; 208 submissions that represent the current state of work in the cryptographic community worldwide; covering all areas of cryptologic research. Each paper; without the authors’ information; was reviewed by at least three members of the program committee; and the papers (co-)authored by members of the program committee were reviewed by at least six members. We also blinded the reviewers’ names among the reviewers until the ?nal decision; by using pseudonyms. The reviews were then followed by deep discussions on the papers; which greatly contributed to the quality of the ?nal selection. In most cases; extensive comments were sent to the authors. Among 208 submissions; the program committee selected 36 papers. Two submissions were merged into a single paper; yielding the total of 35 papers acceptedforpresentationinthetechnicalprogramoftheconference.Manyhi- quality works could not be accepted because of the competitive nature of the conference and the challenging task of selecting a program. These proceedings contain revised versions of the accepted papers. These revisions have not been checked for correctness; and the authors bear full responsibility for the contents of their papers.
