This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the
5th International Conference on Financial Cryptography, FC 2001, held in
Grand Cayman, British West Indies, in February 2001.
The 20 revised full papers presented together with various panel
statements and one invited paper were carefully selected during two
rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical
sections on managing payment transaction costs, trust and risk
management, groups and anonymity, certificates and authentication,
credit card security, markets and multiparty computation, digital
signatures and financial cryptography, and auctions.
