Instructions for Submitting the Posters

Posters should be submitted by email with the subject "Nordsec poster" to Kimmo Järvinen (kimmo.jarvinen@tkk.fi) by 1 October 2010 in pdf format. At this point, the posters can still be drafts but all essential details must be present. The posters are evaluated and acceptance decisions will be submitted to the author(s) in a week. The final posters must be submitted to Kimmo Järvinen at latest on 15 October 2010 in pdf format with embedded fonts.

The final posters should be either portrait or landscape A0 (also other A-sizes are ok because they can be scaled to A0 when printed). No poster template is offered. For good readability the font size should not be smaller than 28 pt and images should have at least 300 dpi resolution (in A0).

The posters are printed in Aalto University and the organizers will put them on place before the poster session.

Student Poster Competition

The poster session also includes an informal poster competition which is open for posters where the authors are students (bachelor, master, or doctoral). In order to participate in the competition, please state clearly the status of each author (student or not and where). The topics should be related to a student project, such as a thesis, internship or course project in the area of security and/or mobile computing. The posters should be prepared in groups of 2-4 persons. (Students intending to submit a poster alone must ask for approval from the organizer. Please talk first with your supervisor so that he or she can help you form groups.) The conference organizers will decide which posters may participate in the competition. The selection of winners will be an informal process with rules to be announced at the event.

The Results of the Poster Competition

The poster competition was won by Benedikt Westermann and Pern Hui Chia with their poster Splitting the Tor Network: Potential Challenges Considering the Gold Star Approach.

The two runner-ups were Michel Hognerud, Lakshmi Subramanian, Markku Antikainen, and Prajwol Kumar Nakarmi, Automated CSRF Detection and Sajjad Rizvi, M.J. Morshed Chowdhury, and Sanja Scepanovic, A1: A Secure and Energy Efficient Topology Construction Protocol for WSNs.
