The 2018 IEEE Security & Privacy Conference is in May but they’ve posted their full proceedings and it’s better to grab them early than to wait for it to become part of a paid journal offering.
There are alot of papers. Not all match my interests but (fortunately?) many did and I’ve filtered down a list of the more interesting (to me) ones. It’s encouraging to see academic cybersecurity researchers branching out across a whole host of areas.
I can’t promise a the morning paper-esque daily treatment of these on the blog but I’ll likely exposit a few of them over the coming weeks. I’ve emoji’d a few that stood out. Order is the order I read them in (no other meaning to the order).
