The 9th Annual ASIACRYPT conference was sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR), this year in cooperation with the ChineseCryptologyandInformationSecurityAssociation(CCISA)andNational Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Taiwan. One hundred and eighty-eight papers from 26 countries were submitted to ASIACRYPT 2003 and 33 (of which one paper was withdrawn by the authors afternoti?cation)ofthesewereselectedforpresentation.Theseproceedingsc- tainrevisedversionsoftheacceptedpapers.WehadanIACR2003Distinguished Lecture, by Dr. Don Coppersmith, entitled "Solving Low Degree Polynomials."
