N1 - Funding Information: was pioneered by Raphaël Phan in 2005 to expose the local security community to the culture of inter national crypto conferences. Held in Kuala Lumpur, the program chairs were Serge Vaudenay and Ed Dawson (QUT) and featured an unconvention al cryptography session spotlighting a paper on the new notion of ques tionable encryption by Adam Young and Moti Yung. Subsequently, Phan led the bidding team to host Asiac- rypt in Malaysia for the first time in 2007. This was held in Kuching in the Borneo state of Sarawak. Mycrypt was rejuvenated in 2016, focusing on paradigm-shifting unconventional crypto, with Phan and Yung as the program chairs. In terms of gov ernment initiatives, the Malaysian government agency CyberSecurity Malaysia initiated in 2016 an effort similar to CRYPTREC (Japan) to pro pose a list of trusted cryptographic algorithms for Malaysia. MySEAL pro duced a recommended list of existing algorithms in 2017. Singapore. In 2018, two multi disciplinary research centers each funded by a $10 million grant from the National Research Foundation of Singapore were set up under Nan- yang Technological University (NTU) and National University of Singapore (NUS), respectively. The centers are to develop capabilities, technologies, and skilled manpower toward scal able and customized privacy preserv ing technologies that are aligned with national priorities of Singapore in the services and digital economy of the Research, Innovation, and Enter prise (RIE2020) plan. Taiwan. Taiwan’s burgeoning cryptographic community hosted Asiacrypt 2003 and 2014. Taiwan is known for specialties in post-quan tum cryptography and cryptographic implementations. For example, Bo-Yin Yang (Academia Sinica) was the co-inventor of Ed25519, a widely used elliptic curve digital signature scheme, which is a de facto standard on the Internet, and of which the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has said will be part of the U.S. standard FIPS 186-5. Taiwanese scholars contributed to the multivariate digital signatures MQDSS and Rainbow in the second round of the NIST post-quantum standardization process. Vietnam. The Vietnam Crypto graphic Branch was formed in 1945 soon after independence, and the de velopment of cryptography was exclu sively realized by the government’s secret agencies such as the Ban Co Yeu (Cryptographic Bureau). The first official collaboration between a secret agency and a public research institute occurred in 1987 in a project called M-87, led by Phan Dinh Dieu (VNU)—the founder of the Vietnam ese IT Society. Since then, research in cryptography has increased in public institutions as well as public universities where cryptography/se curity courses were created. The first international cryptology conference in Vietnam (Vietcrypt) was held in 2006, led by Vietnamese researchers abroad: Khanh Nguyen (Singapore), Phong Nguyen and Duong Hieu Phan (France) and Duy Lan Nguyen (Aus tralia) and supported by Phan Dinh Dieu (as general chair). Vietcrypt attracted numerous prominent cryp tographers including Jacques Stern, Tatsuaki Okamoto, Phil Rogaway, and inspired new young students to follow cryptography research. Sub sequently, Vietnam hosted its first Asiacrypt in 2016, led by Duong Hieu Phan as one of the general chairs, along with Ngo Bao Chau (VIASM).
