Reminder - DeepSec 2011 Call For Papers --- DeepSec 2011 "High Five" - Call for Papers - REMINDER

[InfoSec News <alerts () infosecnews org>]

Forwarded from: DeepSec Conference <deepsec (at) deepsec.net>

For the fifth time the DeepSec In-Depth Security Conference invites 
security researchers and professionals to submit suggestions for talks 
and workshops for our conference which will take place in November 2011 
in Vienna. Please visit our updated website for more details about the 
venue, the schedule and information about our past conferences: 
https://deepsec.net/

The DeepSec offers a mix of different topics and aspects like current 
threats and vulnerabilities, social engineering and psychological 
aspects as well as security management and philosophy. Our speakers and 
trainers traditionally come from the security community, companies, 
hacker spaces and academic organisations.

You can submit content for three categories:
- Talks for the conference (45 minute slots)
- Two day workshops
- U21 (a special category for young security researchers)

https://deepsec.net/cfp

--- Talks:
To make it short, talks should be up-to-date, of a high quality that matches 
our previous years and preferably exclusive (which of course is not a hard 
requirement but it will be one evaluation criterion). Topics from all security 
disciplines are welcome but we encourage you to submit talks about emerging 
technologies and concepts like:
- Mobile computing and communications
- IPv6 (yes, again!)
- Cloud computing and virtualisation
- Security intelligence
- Security management and IT governance (a.k.a. "The Big Picture")
- Topics that have a high impact on IT security
- Design flaws ("defective by design")

Talks should not:
- Endorse products, vendors or specific solutions
- Discredit anyone or anything, let's be fair

Speaker privileges:
- Free entrance to the conference
- Hotel accommodation for three nights (single/double room)
- Travel expenses up to EUR 800,-
- Invitation to our famous Speaker's Dinner with Austrian food

--- Workshops:
We look for highest quality and most current topics. We had very good feedback 
for our workshops in the past and we want to keep it that way. Our audience has 
a very high level of technical understanding and is deeply involved with 
security management, implementation, operation and research.
What we like to see:
- In-depth workshops on securing the infrastructure
- Social engineering and psychological aspects
- IPv6 (yes, again!)
- Mobile communications, vulnerabilities and defences

Workshops should not:
- Teach too much basic stuff (keep the level rather high)
- Focus on specific vendors or products

Trainer privileges:
- Free entrance to the conference
- Invitation to our famous Speaker's Dinner with Austrian food
- 50% of the net profit of your class

--- U21 category:
We don't take the age so serious as it might sound but this category is 
especially for young security researchers who are *not* working in a 
professional sense yet, e.g. (full-time) students, or attending college, 
technical school or just interested in computer security. We will also accept 
submissions if you are a little bit older than 21 years. Don't be shy if your 
idea is not groundbreaking or not the top vulnerability discovered in the last 
5 years. There's always room for some extra hacking. :) We want to encourage 
you to submit your *own* research. We will ask some questions and evaluate your 
submission, so don't cheat.
What we like to see:
- anything that is your own idea and/or implementation
- a valuable extension to existing ideas and/or implementations
- anything you have discovered on your own and is not discussed a lot
  yet or has been accepted as a CVE (common exploit and vulnerability)

Please don't:
- Reuse something existing
- Implement something which has been around for long

U21 privileges:
- A 15 minute lightning talk on the conference
- Free entrance to the conference
- Invitation to the Speaker's Dinner, but no alocohol without age check ;)
- We help you with your travel expenses to Vienna, but cannot cover
  the full speakers allowance, if in doubt talk to us we can work
  something out.

All CfP submissions must go through the form on our web site:
https://deepsec.net/cfp.html

We will support anyone if you have question, need clarification
whatever, just contact us for additional questions: cfp (at) deepsec.net
