Crypto 81 proceedings

The proceedings of Crypto 81 was published as a UCSB Tech Report. These papers were not refereed, and this predates the existence of IACR. The front matter with preface and table of contents is available here. The cover sheet is also available.

For those who are curious, a list of people registered for the conference is available here.
