Notes: Authors with underline are those who presented the paper at the conference. xxx/xxx denotes number of accepted papers out of submissions. My DBLP entry is here and google scholar entry is here; for IACR publications, I am available in its database in this entry. Acceptance rate of IACR conferences and workshops is available here. I think it helps a lot for Ph.D students (who are the majority of the cryptanalysis community) to have the source codes used in the differential/result search, hence most of source codes written by myself are online (without much comments though), I encourage you to follow too.
