USENIX Security Supplementary Material
USENIX Security does not collect a separate supplement upload; everything textual travels in one PDF with a fixed geography, and everything executable lives at the locations named in the Open Science appendix. Placement is therefore a reviewing decision: material outside the 13-page body has no guarantee of being read. The layout below is the '26 rule set (checked 2026-07-08); confirm against the current CFP before restructuring a draft.
The four tiers and their reading guarantees
| Tier | Cap ('26) | Who reads it |
|---|---|---|
| Main body | 13 pages | Reviewers, fully — the only tier with a guarantee |
| Ethical Considerations appendix | ~1 page, mandatory | Reviewers and (when flagged) ethics scrutiny — read carefully |
| Open Science appendix | ~1 page, mandatory | Reviewers + AEC after acceptance — enforced, not just read |
| References + optional appendices | uncapped | Discretionary; assume skimmed at best |
