• Operating system security
• Privacy-preserving (and compromising) systems
• Public key infrastructure
• Rights management and copyright protection
• Security architectures
• Security in heterogeneous and large-scale environments
• Security policy
• Self-protecting and -healing systems

Note that the USENIX Security Symposium is primarily a systems
security conference. Papers whose contributions are primarily new cryptographic
algorithms or protocols, cryptanalysis, electronic commerce
primitives, etc., may not be appropriate for this conference.
Program committee members are limited to being authors or coauthors
of at most two paper submissions. The program chair is not
permitted to be author or co-author of any paper submissions.
