Upcoming USENIX conferences, as well as events that are being held in cooperation with USENIX, are listed below. View USENIX's conference policies and resources and how we put them into practice at ...

Thanks for joining us in Washington, D.C., for the 24th USENIX Security Symposium (USENIX Security '15). We hope you enjoyed the event.

USENIX celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025. We celebrate decades of innovations, experiments, and gatherings of the advanced computing system community. And in the spirit of our ever-evolving ...

Recently, UNIX lost one of its most stalwart pioneers. In eulogizing him in a tweet, I claimed that Roger Faulkner was the "godfather of post-AT&T UNIX"—and I can't imagine that anyone who knew Roger ...

Private set intersection (PSI) allows two parties to compute the intersection of their sets without revealing any information about items that are not in the intersection. It is one of the best ...

Return-to-user (ret2usr) attacks redirect corrupted kernel pointers to data residing in user space. In response, several kernel-hardening approaches have been proposed to enforce a more strict address ...

Tor is a distributed network composed of volunteer relays which is designed to preserve the sender-receiver anonymity of communications on the Internet. Despite the use of the onion routing paradigm, ...

The advances of Machine Learning (ML) have sparked a growing demand of ML-as-a-Service: developers train ML models and publish them in the cloud as online services to provide low-latency inference at ...

We introduce BOURBON, a log-structured merge (LSM) tree that utilizes machine learning to provide fast lookups. We base the design and implementation of BOURBON on empirically-grounded principles that ...

Function as a Service (FaaS) has been gaining popularity as a way to deploy computations to serverless backends in the cloud. This paradigm shifts the complexity of allocating and provisioning ...

Numerous Electromagnetic Fault Injection (EMFI) techniques have been used to attack FPGAs, ASICs, cryptographic devices, and microcontrollers. Unlike other classes of fault injection techniques, ...

This paper shows how an attacker can break the confidentiality of a hardware enclave with Membuster, an off-chip attack based on snooping the memory bus. An attacker with physical access can observe ...
