What USENIX Security expects
- Manuscript format: LaTeX or Word
- Template: Official USENIX LaTeX and Word templates (final version must use the official style files)

USENIX's official LaTeX template ships with a .bib file and a pdflatex + bibtex build process, so BibTeX is the format its own template expects.

Where this comes from
Sourced from https://www.usenix.org/conferences/author-resources/paper-templates. The template repository itself confirms the BibTeX build; USENIX's live guidelines page returned an access error when this page was generated, so this is based on the template files rather than the guidelines text.
