Call for Posters for the Conference and Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Workshop

Privacy, Security and Trust 2017 (PST 2017) will be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, August 28-30, 2017. PST 2017 is the 15th conference in this series, providing a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their latest research results, developments and ideas in areas of privacy, security and trust.
The first day of the conference is Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Workshop https://www.ucalgary.ca/pst2017/workshop

We are organizing poster sessions for the workshop and the conference to disseminate work in progress, interesting novel approaches and late-breaking results. For a poster we value potential of the idea over rigor of the evaluation. We are looking to receive high-quality abstracts for posters in the following two tracks:

* blockchain and cryptocurrencies
* general privacy, security and trust

Posters will be reviewed based on a short 3-page paper that authors must submit before the deadline. The papers should not significantly overlap with other papers that, at the time of submission, are under review or have already been published or accepted for publication elsewhere. Papers should be emailed to the poster chair Florian Kerschbaum mailto:florian.kerschbaum@uwaterloo.ca with a subject line starting with "PST 2017 poster submission". Each accepted poster should be printed on A0 paper and be presented at the conference in a special poster session by at least one author. The conference proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore as in previous editions of the conference. At least one author of an accepted poster must register by July 20, 2017.
