Information Theoretic Security 8th International Conference, ICITS 2015, Lugano, Switzerland, May 2-5, 2015. Proceedings

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Information Theoretic Security, ICITS 2015, held in Lugano, Switzerland, in May 2015.

The 17 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers cover a variety of topics at the intersection of cryptography, information theory, and quantum physics.
