   The PacSec 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 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).
