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 ...

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 ...

USENIX conferences, as well as events held in cooperation with USENIX, are listed in reverse chronological order below.

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 ...

Identifying privacy-sensitive data leaks by mobile applications has been a topic of great research interest for the past decade. Technically, such data flows are not “leaks” if they are disclosed in a ...

Load balancing is critical for distributed storage to meet strict service-level objectives (SLOs). It has been shown that a fast cache can guarantee load balancing for a clustered storage system.

LSM-based KV stores are designed to offer good write performance, by capturing client writes in memory, and only later flushing them to storage. Writes are later compacted into a tree-like data ...

Current formal approaches have been successfully used to find design flaws in many security protocols. However, it is still challenging to automatically analyze protocols due to their large or ...

Memcached is a well known, simple, in memory caching solution. This paper describes how Facebook leverages memcached as a building block to construct and scale a distributed key-value store that ...

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 ...

Since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect in May 2018, online services are required to obtain users' explicit consent before sharing users' personal data with third parties ...

We present SA-6, a six-item scale for assessing people’s security attitudes that we developed by following standardized processes for scale development. We identify six scale items based on ...
