We had a welcome reprieve in October because only meeting abstracts were published in that issue. We would survive!

BitLocker is a disk encryption feature included in some versions of Microsoft Windows. It represents a state-of-the-art design, enhanced with TPM support for improved security. We show that, under certain assumptions, a dedicated attacker can circumvent the protection and brea...

Bootstrapping Without the Boot

Lots of guesses lots of classifiers. Try to predict which one looks plausible (!?!). We can learn to make such predictions. Results (on WSD): Performance actually goes up! (Unsupervised WSD for translational senses, Eng...

We Northerners admit to being sewn into our woolly vests from November to March, come what may, but when it comes to amorous dalliance we always remove our boots, and often our socks, weather permitting.
