Topics in Cryptology - CT-RSA 2007

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographers' Track at the RSA Conference 2007, CT-RSA 2007, held in San Francisco, CA, USA in February 2007. The 25 revised full papers presented together with two invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 73 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections.
