The EUSecWest 2010 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.
