I'd like to congratulate Adam Laurie for winning the second Powerbook
from the Pwn_to_Own contest as the prize for the best speaker rated by
the audience for his presentation on RFID at CanSecWest 2007. We will
have a similar prize for the best speaker at CanSecWest 2008, prize TBD
(but we promise it will be cool - depending on what we find trawling
though the electronics shops in Akihabara this year :).

CanSecWest 2008 CALL FOR PAPERS
VANCOUVER, Canada -- The ninth annual CanSecWest applied technical
security conference - where the eminent figures in the international
security industry will get together share best practices and
technology - will be held in downtown Vancouver at the the Mariott
Renaissance Harbourside on March 26-28, 2008. The most significant
new discoveries about computer network hack attacks and defenses,
commercial security solutions, and pragmatic real world security
experience will be presented in a series of informative tutorials.
The CanSecWest meeting provides international researchers a relaxed,
comfortable environment to learn from informative tutorials on key
developments in security technology, and collaborate and socialize
with their peers in one of the world's most scenic cities - a short
drive away from one of North America's top skiing areas.
The CanSecWest conference will also feature the availability of the
Security Masters Dojo expert network security sensei instructors, and
their advanced, and intermediate, hands-on training courses -
featuring small class sizes and practical application excercises to
maximize information transfer.
We would like to announce the opportunity to submit papers, and/or
lightning talk proposals for selection by the CanSecWest technical
review committee. This year we will be doing one hour talks, and some
shorter 20/30 minute talk sessions.
Please make your paper proposal submissions before November 30th,
2007.
Some invited papers have been confirmed, but a limited number of
speaking slots are still available. The conference is responsible for
travel and accomodations for the speakers. If you have a proposal for
a tutorial session then please email a synopsis of the material and
your biography, papers and, speaking background to
_secwest08_@private (please remove _'s). Only slides will be
needed for the March paper deadline, full text does not have to be
submitted - but will be accepted if available.
The CanSecWest 2008 conference consists of tutorials on technical
details about current issues, innovative techniques and best practices
in the information security realm. The audiences are a multi-national
mix of professionals involved on a daily basis with security work:
security product vendors, programmers, security officers, and network
administrators. We give preference to technical details and new
education for a technical audience.
The conference itself is a single track series of presentations in a
lecture theater environment. The presentations offer speakers the
opportunity to showcase on-going research and collaborate with peers
while educating and highlighting advancements in security products and
techniques. The focus is on innovation, tutorials, and education
instead of product pitches. Some commercial content is tolerated, but
it needs to be backed up by a technical presenter - either giving a
valuable tutorial and best practices instruction or detailing
significant new technology in the products.
Paper proposals should consist of the following information:
1. Presenter, and geographical location (country of origin/passport)
and contact info (e-mail, postal address, phone, fax).
2. Employer and/or affiliations.
3. Brief biography, list of publications and papers.
4. Any significant presentation and educational
experience/background.
5. Topic synopsis, Proposed paper title, and a one paragraph
description.
6. Reason why this material is innovative or significant or an
important tutorial.
7. Optionally, any samples of prepared material or outlines ready.
8. Will you have full text available or only slides?
9. Please list any other publications or conferences where this
material has been or will be published/submitted.
Please include the plain text version of this information in your
email as well as any file, pdf, odt, docx, ppt, odp, or html
attachments.
Please forward the above information to _secwest08_@private
(remove _'s) to be considered for placement on the speaker roster, or
have your lightning talk scheduled.
You can find more information at: http://pacsec.jp and

The Vancouver Dojos will be held on March 24/25 and will be announced
shortly.
cheers.
