The USENIX Security Symposium brings together researchers, practitioners, system administrators, system programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the security and privacy of computer systems and networks. The 27th USENIX Security Symposium will be held August 15–17, 2018, in Baltimore, MD, USA.
All researchers are encouraged to submit papers covering novel and scientifically significant practical works in computer security. Submissions are due on Thursday, February 8, 2018, 5:00 p.m. PST. The Symposium will span three days, with a technical program including refereed papers, invited talks, posters, panel discussions, and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions. Co-located workshops will precede the Symposium on August 13 and 14.
Refereed paper submissions are solicited in all areas relating to systems research in security and privacy, including but not limited to:
-System security
-Network security
-Security analysis
-Data-driven security and measurement studies
-Privacy-enhancing technologies and anonymity
-Usable security and privacy
-Language-based security
-Hardware security
-Research on surveillance and censorship
-Social issues and security
-Applications of cryptography
This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive; USENIX Security is interested in all aspects of computing systems security and privacy. Papers without a clear application to security or privacy, however, will be considered out of scope and may be rejected without full review.
