A set A of integers is called a Sidon set if all the pairwise sums x+y, with x and y elements of A, are distinct. Let S(n) denote the family of Sidon subsets of {1, ..., n}. A central problem in the study of Sidon sets is that of determining the maximum possible size s(n) of a set A in S(n). In this talk, we address the (closely related) problem of estimating |S(n)| and show that |S(n)| \leq 2^{C\sqrt{n}} for some constant C, which is asymptotically sharp for the logarithm. This is joint work with Yoshiharu Kohayakawa, Sangjune Lee, and Vojtech Rodl.
