The 3-volume-set LNCS 12696 – 12698 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 40
th
Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques, Eurocrypt 2021, which was held in Zagreb, Croatia, during October 17-21, 2021.
The 78 full papers included in these proceedings were accepted from a total of 400 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows:
Part I: Best papers; public-key cryptography; isogenies; post-quantum cryptography; lattices; homomorphic encryption; symmetric cryptanalysis;
Part II: Symmetric designs; real-world cryptanalysis; implementation issues; masking and secret-sharing; leakage, faults and tampering; quantum constructions and proofs; multiparty computation;
Part III: Garbled circuits; indistinguishability obfuscation; non-malleable commitments; zero-knowledge proofs; property-preserving hash functions and ORAM; blockchain; privacy and law enforcement.
