Students should pick a paper from a list that will be soon posted in this site. Students can also suggest another paper, as long as it is within the wide scope of the seminar, and is approved by the lecturer. The papers will be mostly from leading security conferences (IEEE Security and Privacy, ACM CCS, Usenix Security, Esorics, NDSS) and journals (ACM TISSEC, IEEE TDSC). 

Each student should coordinate a presentation slot and paper with the lecturer by email (on FCFS basis). A week before the presentation, student should send summary and / or foils to the lecturer; these will be used during the session, when the student will explain the paper and discuss it in class.
