This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographers' Track at the RSA Conference 2006, CT-RSA 2006, held in San Jose, CA, USA in February 2006. The book presents 24 papers organized in topical sections on attacks on AES, identification, algebra, integrity, public key encryption, signatures, side-channel attacks, CCA encryption, message authentication, block ciphers, and multi-party computation.
