The 2009 RSA conference was held in San Francisco, USA, during April 20-24. The conference is devoted to security-related topics and, as part of this, hosts a distinguished track for cryptographic research. Since 2001 the proceedings of this Cryptographers' Track (CT-RSA) have been published in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science of Springer. The proceedings of CT-RSA 2009 contain 31 papers selected from 93 s- missions, covering a wide variety of cryptographic areas. Each submission was anonymizedforthereviewingprocessandwasassignedto atleastthreeofthe25 ProgramCommittee members. Submissions co-authoredby committee members were assigned to at least ?ve members. After carefully considering more than 15,000 lines (more than 100,000 words) of reviews and online discussions, the committeeselected31submissionsforacceptance. Theprogramalsoincludedan invited talk by Kenny Paterson entitled “Cryptography and Secure Channels. ” Iwouldliketothankalltheauthorswhosubmittedpapers. Iamalsoindebted to the Program Committee members and all external reviewers for their vol- tary work. The committee's work was tremendously simpli?ed by Shai Halevi's submission software and his support. I would also like to thank the CT-RSA Steering Committee for electing me as Chair, and all the people from the RSA conference team for their support, especially Bree LaBollita.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographers' Track at the RSA Conference 2010, CT-RSA 2010, held in San Francisco, CA, USA in April 2010. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 94 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on public-key cryptography, side-channel attacks, cryptographic protocols, cryptanalysis, and symmetric cryptography.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographers' Track at the RSA Conference 2011, CT-RSA 2011, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in February 2011. The 24 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on secure two-party computation, cryptographic primitives, side channel attacks, authenticated key agreement, proofs of security, block ciphers, security notions, public-key encryption, crypto tools and parameters, and digital signatures.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographers' Track at the RSA Conference 2013, CT-RSA 2013, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in February/March 2013. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 89 submissions. The papers are grouped into topical sections covering: side channel attacks, digital signatures, public-key encryption, cryptographic protocols, secure implementation methods, symmetric key primitives, and identity-based encryption.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographer's Track at the RSA Conference 2015, CT-RSA 2015, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in April 2015. The 26 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 111 submissions. The focus of the track is on following subjects: timing attacks, design and analysis of block ciphers, attribute and identity based encryption, membership, secure and efficient implementation of AES based Cryptosystems, chosen ciphertext attacks in theory and practice, algorithms for solving hard problems, constructions of hash functions and message authentication codes, secure multiparty computation, authenticated encryption, detecting and tracing malicious activities, implentation attacks on exponentiation algorithms and homomorphic encryption and its applications.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographers' Track at the RSA Conference 2012, CT-RSA 2012, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in February/March 2012. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 113 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on side channel attacks, digital signatures, public-key encryption, cryptographic protocols, secure implementation methods, symmetric key primitives, and secure multiparty computation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographer's Track at the RSA Conference 2018, CT-RSA 2018, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in March 2018. The 26 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. CT-RSA is the track devoted to scientific papers on cryptography, public-key to symmetric-key cryptography and from crypto- graphic protocols to primitives and their implementation security.
