This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Post-Quantum Cryptography, PQCrypto 2008, held in Cincinnati, OH, USA, in October 2008.
The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. Quantum computers are predicted to break existing public key cryptosystems within the next decade. Post-quantum cryptography is a new fast developing area, where public key schemes are studied that could resist these emerging attacks. The papers present four families of public key cryptosystems that have the potential to resist quantum computers: the code-based public key cryptosystems, the hash-based public key cryptosystems, the lattice-based public key cryptosystems and the multivariate public key cryptosystems.

When you look at some of the most expensive books on Amazon, they are usually proceedings of conferences on very narrow topics that contain state of the art information on that niche. Often they are also published by Springer!
This little gem is somewhat of an exception. It is NOT a conference piece, but does use individual, expert authors to write each article, and each article DOES have numerous pages of supporting research papers, albeit mostly from the late 1990s and early 2000's.
Since "quantum computing" (QC) (a theoretical field, since quantum computers probably won't be actually built for at least 10 years or more) is applied to the hardness of encryption schemes in this book, you've got to add another 15 to 20 years to actually "assume" that QC can break a block cipher or hash table that's presently (relatively) intractable to classical computing. This is because cryptanalysts can't "prove" a negative-- that this or that system can or can't be broken by QC-- except by watching the research results of penetration trial, error and research.
I mean, practically, DES, and even relatively high rounds of AES, have already been broken with classical computing! This has taken over 30 years in the case of DES, and speculation in this volume is that QC will greatly speed up this process. That's the bottom line: this is an outstanding book of speculation-- looking at where QC is and isn't effective via theoretical QC algorithms alone (given no quantum machines to try them on yet). Most of this speculation will be irrelevant when and if real superpositioning machines are built. The interesting thing about cryptography is that the non deterministic probability cloud results of QC become deterministic-- because we either break the cipher or don't!
