[Thomas Pasquier @tfjmp]

I am pleased to announce that our second paper got accepted at #USENIX Security 2025!

Two fantastic visiting students conducted the work
@tristanbilot and Baoxiang Jiang at @UBC_CS with the help of Zefeng Li.

Our paper describing PIDSMaker has been accepted at KDD 2026!

PIDSMaker lets researchers benchmark, compare, and easily implement different provenance-based intrusion detection systems.

Tanya Prasad will be presenting "RegTrack: Uncovering Global Disparities in Third-party Advertising and Tracking" at MADWeb 2026 (co-located with NDSS).

[Thomas Pasquier @tfjmp]

This work is the culmination of her Master's thesis, introducing RegTrack, a measurement framework that quantifies how browser choice, user location, and hosting jurisdiction shape users' real-world exposure to third-party ads and trackers.
