This book contains revised selected papers from the 30th International Conference on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2023, held in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, in August 2023. The 21 full papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections:

Cryptanalysis of Lightweight Ciphers: This section includes papers that focus on the cryptanalysis of lightweight ciphers, which are cryptographic algorithms designed to be efficient in terms of computational resources, such as memory and processing power. These ciphers are often used in various applications, such as mobile devices, IoT devices, and secure communication systems.

Side-Channel Attacks and Countermeasures: Side-channel attacks are a type of attack that exploits the physical characteristics of a cryptographic system, such as power consumption, electromagnetic radiation, or timing, to gain access to secret information. This section includes papers that propose new side-channel attack techniques and countermeasures to protect against these attacks.

Post-Quantum Constructions: Post-quantum cryptography is a new area of research that aims to develop cryptographic algorithms that are resistant to quantum computing. This section includes papers that propose new post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, such as lattice-based cryptography, code-based cryptography, and hash-based cryptography.

Symmetric Cryptography and Fault Attacks: Symmetric cryptography is a type of cryptography that uses a single key to encrypt and decrypt data. This section includes papers that focus on the cryptanalysis of symmetric cryptographic algorithms, including attacks such as brute force, dictionary attacks, and side-channel attacks.

Post-Quantum Analysis and Implementations: Post-quantum cryptography is a rapidly evolving field, and this section includes papers that discuss the analysis and implementation of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. These papers may include theoretical analysis, experimental implementations, and practical applications.

Homomorphic Encryption: Homomorphic encryption is a type of encryption that allows for the computation of functions on encrypted data without decrypting the data itself. This section includes papers that focus on the development of homomorphic encryption algorithms, as well as their applications in various fields, such as cloud computing, secure voting, and secure communication.

Public-Key Cryptography: Public-key cryptography is a type of cryptography that uses a pair of keys, one public and one private, to encrypt and decrypt data. This section includes papers that focus on the cryptanalysis of public-key cryptographic algorithms, including attacks such as RSA, ECC, and DSA.

Differential Cryptanalysis: Differential cryptanalysis is a type of cryptanalysis that focuses on the analysis of the differences between two or more ciphertexts. This section includes papers that propose new differential cryptanalysis techniques and their applications in various cryptographic systems.

In conclusion, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research in selected areas in cryptography. The papers presented in these proceedings cover a wide range of topics, including cryptanalysis of lightweight ciphers, side-channel attacks and countermeasures, post-quantum constructions, symmetric cryptography and fault attacks, post-quantum analysis and implementations, homomorphic encryption, public-key cryptography, and differential cryptanalysis. These papers are carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions, and they provide valuable insights into the current state of the field.
