• Design and analysis of symmetric key primitives and cryptosystems, including block and stream ciphers, hash functions, MAC algorithms, cryptographic permutations, and authenticated encryption schemes.

• Efficient implementations of symmetric, public key, and post-quantum cryptography.

• Mathematical and algorithmic aspects of applied cryptology, including post-quantum cryptology.

The fourth area for SAC 2021 is

• Privacy enhancing mechanisms and techniques.
