It is our great pleasure to welcome you to The 5th ACM Asia Public-Key Cryptography Workshop - APKC'18, held on June 4, 2018, in conjunction with The 13th ACM Asia Conference on Computer and Communications Security (AsiaCCS'18). Public-key cryptography plays an essential role in ensuring many security properties required in data processing of various kinds. The theme of this workshop is novel public-key cryptosystems for solving a wide range of reallife application problems. This workshop solicits original contributions on both applied and theoretical aspects of public-key cryptography. We also solicit systematization of knowledge (SoK) papers, which should aim to evaluate, systematize, and contextualize existing knowledge. The call for papers attracted 20 submissions from Asia, America, and Europe. The program committee accepted 7 papers based on their overall quality and novelty (acceptance ratio: 35%). We hope these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the field of public-key cryptography and its applications.

Towards Ideal Self-bilinear Map
Bilinear maps (also called pairings) have been used for constructing various kinds of cryptographic primitives including (but not limited to) short signatures, identity-based encryption, attribute-based encryption, and non-interactive zero-knowledge ...
Five-Card AND Protocol in Committed Format Using Only Practical Shuffles
In card-based cryptography, designing AND protocols in committed format is a major topic of research. The state-of-the-art AND protocol proposed by Koch, Walzer, and Härtel in ASIACRYPT 2015 uses only four cards, which is the minimum permissible number. ...
SoK: A Performance Evaluation of Cryptographic Instruction Sets on Modern Architectures
The latest processors have included extensions to the instruction set architecture tailored to speed up the execution of cryptographic algorithms. Like the AES New Instructions (AES-NI) that target the AES encryption algorithm, the release of the SHA ...
You Shall Not Pass! (Once Again): An IoT Application of Post-quantum Stateful Signature Schemes
This paper presents an authentication protocol specifically tailored for IoT devices that inherently limits the number of times that an entity can authenticate itself with a given key pair. The protocol we propose is based on a stateful hash-based ...
A New LRPC-Kronecker Product Codes Based Public-Key Cryptography
In this paper, we propose a variant of the McEliece cryptosystem, called LRPC-Kronecker cryptosystem. LRPC-Kronecker product codes are LRPC codes with higher rank and better error-correction capability. For this, we introduce a new decoding algorithm ...
A Note on Subgroup Security in Pairing-Based Cryptography
Barreto~et al.\ (LATINCRYPT~2015) proposed a security notion, called subgroup security, for elliptic curves in pairing-based cryptography. They also claimed that, in some schemes, if an elliptic curve is subgroup-secure, the membership check, called ...
On Several Verifiable Random Functions and the q-decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Inversion Assumption
In 1999, Micali, Rabin and Vadhan introduced the notion of Verifiable Random Functions (VRF)\citeFOCS:MicRabVad99. VRFs compute for a given input x and a secret key $sk$ a unique function value $y=V_sk (x)$, and additionally a publicly verifiable proof ...
SoK: The Problem Landscape of SIDH
The Supersingular Isogeny Diffie-Hellman protocol (SIDH) has recently been the subject of increased attention in the cryptography community. Conjecturally quantum-resistant, SIDH has the feature that it shares the same data flow as ordinary Diffie-...
