ieeesp-artifact-evaluationUse when preparing an IEEE S&P (Oakland) artifact-evaluation submission after acceptance, including choosing among the Available, Functional, and Results Reproduced badges, DOI-backed deposits, packaging exploits and malware-adjacent code responsibly, and scoping what evaluators can actually re-run.
ieeesp-author-responseUse when drafting the IEEE S&P (Oakland) rebuttal for second-round papers or the response plan for a Revise decision, including triaging reviews under the ~5-day window, answering adaptive-attack and threat-model objections, handling ethics questions with documentation, and writing against the Revis
ieeesp-camera-readyUse when converting an IEEE S&P (Oakland) acceptance into a final paper, including working the shepherd against the draft meta-review's concern list, adding the ethics section, de-anonymizing and restoring disclosure specifics, IEEE compsoc and Xplore requirements, and coordinating artifact submissi
ieeesp-experimentsUse when designing or auditing the evaluation of an IEEE S&P (Oakland) paper, including end-to-end attack demonstration, adaptive-adversary evaluation of defenses, measurement sampling and validity, baselines and ablations, statistical reporting of attack success, and the ethics constraints that sha
ieeesp-related-workUse when positioning an IEEE S&P (Oakland) paper against prior literature, including coverage across the four security flagships, concurrent-work and arXiv norms, the 40% resubmission-overlap disclosure, verifying venue attribution via dblp and IEEE Xplore, and anonymity-safe self-citation.
ieeesp-reproducibilityUse when hardening the reproducibility of an IEEE S&P (Oakland) paper's evidence before submission, including environment pinning for exploits and side channels, seed and trial reporting for probabilistic attacks, measurement snapshotting of live systems, and honest availability statements under eth
ieeesp-review-processUse when reasoning about IEEE S&P (Oakland) peer review, including the rounds inside each cycle, early-reject notices, the rebuttal for second-round papers, the Accept/Revise/Reject decision set, the Research Ethics Committee, shepherding of accepted papers, and the one-year resubmission embargo.
ieeesp-submissionUse when auditing an IEEE S&P (Oakland) submission for HotCRP readiness, including the registration freeze with ORCID matching, the 13-page/18-page compsoc format, anonymization, the Ethics Considerations field, SoK checkbox, conflict declarations, and the desk-reject triggers specific to S&P cycles
ieeesp-supplementaryUse when deciding what goes in an IEEE S&P (Oakland) paper's appendix versus the 13-page body, including the 5-page references-and-appendices allowance, the rule that reviewers need not read appendices, marking requirements past page 13, and what must never be relegated out of the reviewed body.
ieeesp-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a security or privacy project belongs at IEEE S&P (Oakland), including the threat-model test, SoK fit, routing among USENIX Security, CCS, NDSS, PETS, and CRYPTO, and whether the one-year resubmission embargo or the 40% overlap rule constrains the plan.
ieeesp-workflowUse when planning an IEEE S&P (Oakland) submission calendar across the two-cycle year, including registration-versus-paper deadlines, the early-reject and rebuttal windows, Revise resubmission timing, the one-year embargo clock, and choosing which cycle a project can realistically hit.
ieeesp-writing-styleUse when writing or revising an IEEE S&P (Oakland) paper's prose, including the threat-model-first structure, calibrating security claims to evaluated boundaries, the first-round survival test for introductions, SoK voice, and fitting the argument into 13 compsoc pages.
