Enigma

Security and Privacy Ideas That Matter

Enigma, the conference, is on pause. Enigma, the point of view, is here to stay. Read more about this decision in this blog post from the Enigma Steering Committee.

Enigma @ USENIX Security! Inspired by our previous Enigma conferences and invited talks tracks at USENIX Security, Enigma @ USENIX Security debuted at the 34th USENIX Security Symposium in Track 2 of the Symposium program. This new track complemented the Symposium's traditional research papers and poster sessions with discussions on big ideas and their noteworthy intersections. While USENIX Security continues its legacy of uniting researchers, practitioners, and system specialists around cutting-edge security and privacy advances, Enigma introduces its signature focus on the broader implications of technology in society.

Enigma @ USENIX Security will return at the 35th USENIX Security Symposium on August 12–14, 2026, in Baltimore, MD, USA.
