This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Security Protocols, held in Paris, France, in April 1997. The 17 revised full papers presented address all current aspects of security protocols. Among the topics covered are secure distribution of knowledge, electronic voting systems, secure Internet transactions, digital signatures, key exchange, cryprographic protocols, authentication, threshold systems, secret sharing, ect.
