RSA Conference is the premiere trade show for the security industry, hosting over 40,000 attendees each year from industry, government, and academia. The Cryptographers' Track (CT-RSA) is RSAC's venue for scientific papers on cryptography. It presents a unique opportunity for researchers to share their work with a broader audience than at a typical academic conference.
Important Dates
- Paper submission: Oct 18, 2022
- Notification of decision: Jan 10, 2023
- Camera-ready versions due: Feb 13, 2023
- Author presentations due: Mar 28, 2023
- Conference: April 24–27, 2023
Call for Papers
Original papers on all technical aspects of cryptology are solicited for submission. Papers of interest to the wider audience of security professionals at RSA Conference are especially encouraged. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Design and security analysis of cryptographic primitives and protocols
- Novel applications of cryptography
- Formal verification of cryptographic security properties
- Cryptographic standards
- Post-quantum cryptography
- Hardware & software implementations
- Cryptographic aspects of blockchains & cryptocurrencies
- Cryptanalysis
- Side-channel attacks and defenses
We also welcome systematization of knowledge (SoK) papers. These papers will not be judged on novel research contributions, but on their value to the research community. SoK papers should provide an important new viewpoint on an established, major research area; support or challenge long-held beliefs in such an area with compelling evidence; or present a convincing, comprehensive new taxonomy of such an area. Survey papers without such insights are not appropriate for acceptance.
For submissions including practical evaluations, it is encouraged (but not required) to make implementations available to facilitate replicability and reproducibility.
Accepted papers (including SoK papers) will appear in the CT-RSA proceedings, published by Springer in its LNCS series.
CT-RSA is scheduled to be an in-person event. One of the things that makes CT-RSA special is the interaction between academia and industry. For that reason, it is strongly preferred that authors of accepted papers present their work in-person. Exceptions will be made only in the case of serious extenuating circumstances, such as COVID restrictions, visa delays, and other emergencies. The presenter of each paper will be given a free Full Pass to RSA Conference.
