IEEE SP Skills
A 12-skill depth pack for IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (IEEE S&P, 'Oakland') submissions: venue fit, the two-cycle HotCRP submission year, early reject and interactive rebuttal, the Revise pathway, ethics and responsible disclosure, artifact badges, and IEEE camera-ready. Grounded in the S&P 2027 CFP and cycle pages checked on 2026-07-08.
Skills in this plugin
12- ▌ Ieeesp Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 Experiments · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 shape what experiments are permissible.
- ▌ Ieeesp Camera Ready · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 submission.
- ▌ Ieeesp Related Work · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 Supplementary · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse 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.
- ▌ Ieeesp Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 Author Response · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 Revise expectations summary.
- ▌ Ieeesp Reproducibility · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 ethical release limits.
- ▌ Ieeesp Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 Artifact Evaluation · brycewang-stanfordUse 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.
