Posters
Participating in NSS/SocialSec 2024 by presenting a poster offers a valuable opportunity for students and researchers to receive feedback on their ongoing work from knowledgeable participants at the conference. We encourage the submission of posters that present unpublished in-progress or late-breaking research, as well as extensions of published work on security and privacy topics. We also welcome posters showcasing interdisciplinary work that is relevant to security and privacy research but was published outside the security community.

Students/ researchers are invited to submit an abstract, along with a draft of the poster, describing their work for consideration. Abstracts should be no longer than two pages and must begin with the keyword "Poster:" The abstract should include all authors with their institutional affiliation and contact information. The abstract should briefly describe the problem being addressed and the approach taken. While providing preliminary results is suggested, it is not mandatory. If the work has been previously published outside the security community or is an extension of any published work, please include a reference to the existing publication.

Please submit your poster proposals in PDF format, using the 2-column Springer template. You can find the template at https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conference-proceedings-guidelines. Remember, your proposal should include author information (name, affiliation, country) as it's not anonymous. The submission will be through EasyChair system.
