1) Please format your camera ready manuscript STRICTLY according to the IEEE requirements.

Camera readys must be in PDF format and are limited to 6 pages in length. (Pages should NOT be numbered.) Up to three additional pages can be purchased at $150/page. - Please use IEEE PDF eXpress at http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/log.asp to verify the PDF compliance of your camera ready pdf with IEEE PDF requirements. Please use "npsec08x" as the conference ID and follow the instructions on the site to login with your login information with PDF eXpress. PDF eXpress can help an author (1) to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or (2) to check PDFs that the author have made him/herself for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function). For NPSec08, we use PDF eXpress for the second option, i.e., PDF Check function. Please refer to http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/fahmy/icnp2008/eXpress-usage.pdf for detailed instructions on how to use IEEE PDF eXpress service. - Please email your camera ready pdf file to kaustubh@netsec.colostate.edu as an attachment.
