List of Books for Review

If you are interested in writing a review or have any other question regarding the IACR book reviewing system, please contact Edoardo Persichetti (Dakota State University, USA) via books at iacr.org . New book reviews are posted continuously.

If you are interested in reviewing a book from Cambridge University Press, CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group, PPUR or Springer that is not listed below, it is possible to do so, provided there is no review for it already. Please check the books with a completed review page and then send me an email if this is the case.

Reviewing Guidelines

So, what should a review look like? Keep in mind that your review should be helpful for the reader. So summarize its content and then give examples for good and bad parts. Give an overall conclusion (e.g. this book could be particular helpful for the following group, is over the top / too easy for...). If your review is longer than the book or shorter than the text on its back, something went wrong, thus we recommend to keep it between 2-5 pages. Apart from that, there are no guidelines. Just start reviewing and assume you would be reading your review. Would you like it? So the key questions are: The preferred format is PDF. You can look at previous reviews to have an idea of what a review should look like, and you are encouraged to use our LaTeX-Template . In addition, I need a 3-10 line "teaser" which more or less summarizes the whole review. When requesting a book, please include your surface address! After receiving the book, you have 2 months to complete the review.

If you have any further questions, please contact Edoardo Persichetti via books at iacr.org .
