ndss-writing-style

Use when drafting or revising an NDSS paper's prose — building the first page around a capability-bounded networked adversary, sizing claims to evidence, weaving the ethics signal into the narrative, and fitting the argument into NDSS's 13-page body ahead of a two-round read.

# NDSS Writing Style

An NDSS paper is read twice under different pressure. Round 1 decides, from a fast read,
whether the paper continues at all — the early reject arrives with no rebuttal for the cut.
Round 2 reads closely with your rebuttal in hand. Write the first page for the fast read
and the rest for the close one.

## The first-page contract

By the end of page one, a Round-1 reviewer should be able to fill in this table from memory:

| Question | Your first page must answer it as... |
| --- | --- |
| Who attacks? | A capability-bounded adversary: vantage (on/off-path, insider, tenant), budget, access |
