RSA Conference 2006, Cryptographers' Track

February 13 - 17, 2006, McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, USA

Final Program

The RSA Conference is the largest, regularly staged computer security event. The Cryptographers' Track (CT-RSA) is a research conference within the RSA Conference. CT-RSA 2006 will be the sixth year of the Cryptographers' Track, which is now a well-established venue for presenting practical research results related to cryptography and data security. Original research papers pertaining to all aspects of cryptography are solicited. Submissions may present theory, techniques, applications and practical experience on topics including, but not limited to: fast implementations, secure electronic commerce, network security and intrusion detection, formal security models, comparison and assessment, tamper-resistance, certification and time-stamping, cryptographic data formats and standards, encryption and signature schemes, public-key infrastructure, protocols, elliptic-curve cryptography, cryptographic algorithm design and cryptanalysis, discrete logarithm and factorization techniques, lattice reduction, and provable security.

Instructions for Authors

The program committee invites research contributions in the broad area of application and theory of cryptography. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any journal or other conference or workshop that has proceedings. All submissions will be blind refereed. 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), and at most 18 pages in total, using at least 11-point font and reasonable margins. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Proceedings

The proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science and should be available at the conference. Clear instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, the authors of the paper must guarantee that at least one of the co-authors will attend the conference and deliver the talk (registration fees will be waived for the co-author delivering the talk).
