Assignment - Infosec Conferences

Summary The world of information security conferences is split into two quite distinct streams -

A) academic and

B) industry/hacker.

The purpose of Assignment is to introduce you to these, and to allow you to explore contemporary research in both streams.

Pick two conference talks or papers, one from a Group A conference and one from a Group B conference. Summarize and review each paper. Each summary and review should be 1200 - 1500 words long. Finally, add 500 - 1000 words summarizing the differences you have discovered between the two types of conferences and their submissions.

In reviewing each talk or paper, consider the following questions:

• What is the major contribution of the paper, in your opinion? Is it the same as the authors believe it to be? How significant is it?

• How original is the work? Does it report on a new and original idea?

• Who is the intended audience for this paper?

• Does the paper represent a platform for future work? Can readers or conference attendees use the ideas presented in their own work?

• The paper was accepted, or we would not be considering it here. Should it have been?
