Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for presenting developments in computer security and electronic privacy.
One paper shows how you can use a hard drive to record sound. The paper's author then used this technique to record the audio for their preview video. Take a listen, it is pretty amazing!
Due to the devloping COVID-19 situation,
#SP20
is being converted into an all-digital conference experience. The dates of the now digital conference will remain the same and more details will be available soon.
Registration for
#SP20
is once again open! Registration will only be $25. We hope that this will make it possible for many more people, including students to attend this year's conference. This fee will also cover attendance to the workshops as well!
Congrats to "TRRespass: Exploiting the Many Sides of Target Row Refresh", "An Analysis of Pre-installed Android Software", and "Can Voters Detect Malicious Manipulation of Ballot Marking Devices?" for receiving best paper awards at

We are working on an article for IEEE S&P magazine
@securityprivacy
with all panelists to summarize and crystalize the lessons learned and to plan the path forward. Stay tuned!
Test-of-time award-winning paper is Robin Sommer and Vern Paxson's "Outside the Closed World: On Using Machine Learning for Network Intrusion Detection"
It was depressing reading the first few submissions, which were mediocre survey papers, and had me worried we wouldn't end up with any accepted SoKs. But, we ended up with 5 great SoK papers in the 2010 symposium (one of which won a test-of-time award at the last S&P).
IEEE
