The sixteenth annual symposium is sponsored by the Advanced Computing Systems Association (USENIX). Chair of the Symposium's organizing committee for this year is Niels Provos of Google.
Last year's best student paper was "Keyboards and Covert Channels" by G. Shah, A. Molina and A. Blaze (of Penn). The authors introduced the notion of "Jitterbugs," which they described as "a class of inline interception mechanisms that covertly transmit data by perturbing the timing of input events likely to affect externally observable netwrok traffic."
After the conference, USENIX members have access to the online proceedings, including audio files of the paper presentations.
USENIX is involved with many other events, which are listed on its web site.
