DeepSec 2022 - Call for Papers...

We are looking for interesting content, challenging ideas, information uncovering the truth about the state of security (or insecurity), and trainings. Submit your proposal to the DeepSec programme committee.

The talk slots are 45 minutes + 5 minutes of Q&A. That's plenty of time to break software and hardware alike. Use it to your advantage.
The DeepSec conference will include two days of talks and two days of trainings. You have ample time for the workshops. Two days is a lot. We help you prepare infrastructure in case you need local network, isolated Internet access, or additional hardware.

We're inviting you to submit proposals for trainings and conference talks. All proposals received before July 31th 2022, 23:59 CEST will be considered by the programme committee. Any material submitted at a later date will be considered to fill slots left.

So submit your talks and trainings now and don't miss the best conference of the year! :-)

Talks & Workshops...

We are interested in bleeding edge security research directly from leading researchers, professionals, academics, industry, government and the underground security community.

The DeepSec 2022 focuses heavily on mobile security, especially mobility. Any gadget that you carry with you or that is used by roadwarriors comes under scrutiny. This includes networked resources intended for the mobile audience and modern nomads as well (also think electric cars and drones). On top of that we like to hear about the security of our infrastructure, next generation or otherwise, - IPv6, cloud computing and services, virtualisation technologies, the power grid, in short everything that should keep us online and connected for the next decades. We want to get a glimpse into the future based on the problems of today.
We're also interested in the Big Picture, namely security management, IT governance and security intelligence. If you have ideas how to steer your IT, face unknown threats, deal with damage control, to get and evaluate threat information, then whip up a paper and some slides. We'd like to hear about it.

Please do not submit specific single exploits (which might be fixed by the time of the conference) and "yet-another-XYZ-hack", script kiddy content or similar "breakthroughs". If it's already written in RFC, stone or best practice manuals, we're not interested. Save your effort for the Nobel prize. Exploit frameworks, general approaches, "defective by design" or "defective by implementation" and high impact exploits have a much higher chance to get accepted. ;-)
