Overview
--------

The Fall 2026 offering of the Software & Systems Security Seminar will
cover a variety of security topics, with an eye toward two goals.

- Increase participants' familiarity with recent and important
  results in the areas of software and systems security research.
  Attendees will read and discuss papers from **recent and imminent
  top-tier security conferences**:
  e.g., IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, CCS, NDSS, and
  security-related systems and software engineering conferences,
  and so on.
- Be a venue for **student presentations**.
  This may be a "formal" research presentation--ideally of a student's
  current work--or it may be an analysis of the research papers chosen
  for a seminar meeting.
