The proceedings of CT-RSA 2001 and CT-RSA 2002 were published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series as LNCS 2020 and LNCS 2271, respectively. Original research papers pertaining to all aspects of cryptography as well as tutorials 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 logarithms and factorization techniques, lattice reduction, and provable security. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: Oct. 1, 2002 Acceptance notification: Nov. 1, 2002 Proceedings version: Nov. 17, 2002 INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: The program committee invites research contributions and tutorials in the broad area of applications and theory of cryptography. Correspondence, including submissions, will take place entirely via e-mail. All submissions will be blind refereed. To make a submission, please send two separate e-mail messages to marc.joye@gemplus.com (the first message should contain the paper's title, the names and affiliations of the authors and should identify the contact author, including e-mail and postal addresses; the second message should contain the submission itself in PostScript or in PDF). 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 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).
