PREFACE

On October 4,5, and 6, 1989, seventy-four people from twenty-three institutions in five countries met at the Nassau Inn in Princeton, New Jersey, to take a critical look at current research and development efforts in the fields of distributed computing and cryptography. Much of the material covered at this highly successful workshop is contained in this volume.

The first item in these proceedings is a technical report containing a summary of the open questions raised during informal discussions, short abstracts of the formal presentations, names and addresses of the participants, and a bibliograpy. The rest of the proceedings consists of fifteen papers based on talks presented at the workshop and two additional contributed papers on related topics. (The two papers that were not presented at the workshop are "Formal Definitions for Secure Distributed Protocols," by Donald Beaver, and "On expected polynomial time simulation of zero knowledge protocols," by Uriel Feige and Adi Shamir.) These are unrefereed papers, many of which describe ongoing research; we expect authors to write longer, more formal papers on some of these projects for refereed journals.

We would like to thank the DIMACS executive committee for sponsoring the Workshop and all of the participants for making it so successful and enjoyable.
