Cryptography: Theory And Practice

This book examines multiple aspects of public-key cryptography. It covers the theory of provably secure public-key cryptography and the implementation of exponentiation and multi-exponentiation. An introduction to provable security is provided.

This book provides a comprehensive description of theories and applications of high-solid and multi-phase bioprocess engineering, which is considered as an important way to address the challenges of "high energy consumption, high pollution and high emissions" in bio-industry. It starts from specifying the solid-phase matrix properties that contribute to a series of “solid effects” on bioprocess, including mass transfer restrictions in porous media, water binding effects, rheological changes. Then it proposes the new principles of periodic intensification which combines the normal force and physiologic characteristics of microorganism for the bioprocess optimization and scale-up.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Natural Computing, TPNC 2020, held in Taoyuan, Taiwan, in December 2020.
