Held in conjunction with the 2022 edition of RSA Conference USA

Registration is closed.
CT-RSA, or Cryptographers’ Track RSA Conference, is the venue for scientific papers on cryptography within the RSA Conference. The RSA Conference is the main trade show for the security industry; over 40,000 people attend the exhibition floor, keynote addresses, events, seminars, training events and the various technical tracks. CT-RSA is the track devoted to scientific papers on cryptography. CT-RSA is a great venue to ensure that scientific results not only get published to the wider cryptologic community, but also get exposed to technical attendees from industry, government and wider afield. The conference is organised by the RSA Conference organisation, and the CT-RSA Program Chair for 2022 is Steven Galbraith from the University of Auckland, who was appointed by the CT-RSA steering committee. For questions about the CT-RSA conference please contact s.galbraith@auckland.ac.nz.

Given the wider audience of the CT-RSA track within the RSA Conference itself, the committee will give preference to papers which are of a broad interest to security professionals. (For reference, see the DBLP list of CT-RSA publications of previous editions of the CT-RSA conference.)
Conference Format
The conference organisers of the RSA Conference intend to hold a physical event, but the CT-RSA track will not require authors to present their paper in person. So virtual/remote participation will be allowed. The exact details of the presentations are not yet decided, but are likely to include a pre-recorded video and participation in a live event. The RSA Conference will coordinate with pre-recording talks. Authors of accepted papers will be required to comply with all the deadlines and processes of the RSA Conference, such as providing a first draft of their presentation by December 6, 2021 and the final version of their presentation by January 10, 2022.
