Quote:This proceedings book gathers selected, peer-reviewed papers presented at the Fifth Scientific Days of the Doctoral School of Mathematics and Computer Sciences - S2DSMCS, held from December 20-22, 2023, at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, Senegal. The cutting-edge works cover timely topics in cryptography, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, with applications extending to fields such as telecommunications and smart networks. This collection showcases research activities developed by a new generation of mathematicians and computer scientists from Africa, Europe, Asia, and America.

By fostering cooperation among both young and experienced researchers, the S2DSMSC conference aligns with other conferences in the region, such as Africacrypt - the International Conference on Cryptology in Africa, the Non-commutative Algebra and Operator Theory (NANCAOT) international workshops, and the International Conference in Algebra, Codes, and Cryptology (A2C), all with proceedings published by Springer.
