Cryptography forms the underlying basis for many security solutions in today's computer systems and networks, securing data while it is being stored, transferred, and processed. With the fast-paced development of emerging technologies with new functionalities,
emerging techniques for cryptography are also needed in order to secure those new functionalities. As security and privacy problems increase in real-world applications with emerging threats, new and innovative cryptography solutions are needed in order to
ensure our computer systems and networks are protected.<br>
