SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Authors will submit their abstracts to EasyChair—a third party public conference management site—and should not disclose confidential information that they and/or their employers are not ready to share with the public.
Submissions may only be entered by researchers or speakers. (No submissions from PR firms or marketing representatives.) Submissions will not be accepted from any author that appears on a U.S. Government list of sanctioned entities or individuals.
No product- or vendor-related pitches will be accepted. If your presentation involves advertisement of products or services, your submission will be rejected.
Submissions must clearly detail the concepts, ideas, findings, and solutions that the speaker plans to present.
Multiple proposals may be submitted by the same individual, but each proposal must be submitted via a separate submission form.
Intel follows the common industry practice of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) for reported security vulnerabilities on launched products. CVD is intended to reduce adversary advantage while a security vulnerability is being evaluated and mitigated. In addition to practicing inbound CVD in partnership with external security researchers, Intel also coordinates outbound vulnerability disclosure with industry partners and other external stakeholders as appropriate, so that all affected parties are disclosing in unison for an optimal defensive position.
- For any submission regarding a security vulnerability, that security vulnerability must have been reported to the affected vendor(s) and publicly disclosed by those vendor(s) before the conference (November 2-3, 2021), and any embargo that is in place must be noted on the submission form.
- If you have discovered a potential security vulnerability in an Intel product, and have not already disclosed it to Intel, please contact the Intel Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) at secure@intel.com. For more information on reporting potential security vulnerabilities to Intel, please see the Intel Vulnerability Handling Guidelines found on the Intel Security Center.
- Intel employees that encounter a potential security vulnerability in a non-Intel product, where Intel products are not affected, are still required to report the issue to the Intel PSIRT. The Intel PSIRT will work with you to report the issue to the affected vendor.
- If you are not an Intel employee and have encountered an undisclosed potential security vulnerability in a non-Intel product then please contact the vendor of that product to file a report
Submissions that highlight Intel-relevant security research, tools, and vulnerabilities will be given priority.
Submitters will be contacted directly by review board members if there are questions regarding their submissions.
Selected speakers must provide consent for Intel to post pictures/bios and a recording of their talks on the Intel website. Selected speakers will be notified by Intel via email by Aug 13, 2021.
Submission selections are made at Intel’s sole discretion.

TALK DURATION:

Each speaker will be allotted a 30 or 45 minute presentation time slot and 10 minutes for Q&A. Please indicate your choice in the submission form.
