Call for Papers

Background

The RSA Conference is the largest, regularly-staged computer security event, with over 350 vendors, and thousands of attendees. The Cryptographers' Track (CT-RSA) is a research conference within the RSA Conference. CT-RSA has begun in 2002, and has become an established venue for presenting cryptographic research papers. The conference proceedings will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and should be available at the conference. Special academic discount for registration will be available, as well as a waiver for speakers presenting papers accepted to CT-RSA 08.

Topics of Interest

Original research papers pertaining to all aspects of cryptography are solicited. Submissions may present applications, techniques, theory, and practical experience on topics including, but not limited to: public-key encryption, symmetric-key encryption, digital signatures, hash functions, cryptographic protocols, tamper-resistance, fast implementations, elliptic-curve cryptography, quantum cryptography, formal security models, network security, e-commerce.

Instructions for Authors

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published in, or submitted in parallel to, any journal, other conference or workshop that has proceedings.

The paper must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. It should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The paper should be at most 12 pages excluding the bibliography and clearly marked appendices using reasonable font size and margins. (A total page limit will be applied to those papers accepted for publication in the proceedings.) The main body of the paper should be intelligible and self-contained as the committee members are not required to read the appendices. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Submissions will take place entirely via a web system available here: Electronic Submissions

Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by December 4, 2007. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that at least one of the co-authors will attend the conference and deliver the talk. Registration fees will be waived for speakers.
