Introduction

PQCrypto 2008 will serve as a forum for researchers to present results and exchange ideas in post-quantum cryptography. The topics include (but are not restricted to)

• public key cryptosystems that have the potential to resist possible future quantum computers such as: hash-based Merkle-type signature schemes, lattice-based cryptosystems, code-based cryptosystems, multivariate cryptosystems and quantum cryptographic schemes;
   

• classical and quantum attacks including side channel attacks on the post-quantum cryptosystems;
   

• security models for the post-quantum era.
