I think you're fine, most people don't take the paper bit seriously. It's not due until the end of July regardless (you don't need a paper to submit for the CFP).
The scramble to get your paper done in time is traditional! (And why my final paper for the onity lock hack ended up with an entire section I decided was better off left unsaid; woops)
Hmm, is that really true? I spoke at BH last year and was not required to submit a paper.
And based on the briefings link, there surely isn't a paper link, only slides and tool.
