==== abstract ====
Authentication and secrecy are two crucial concepts in cryptography
and information security. Although independent in their nature,
various scenarios require that both aspects hold simultaneously. For
information-theoretic/unconditional security (i.e. robustness against
an attacker that has unlimited computational resources),
authentication and secrecy codes have been investigated for quite some
time. In this talk, I will give an overview and discuss recent results
from a combinatorial point of view.
