Abstract

Mobile devices such as smartphones and Internet tablets have achieved computing and networking capabilities comparable to traditional personal computers. Their successful consumerization has also become a source of pain for adopting users and organizations. For example, the widespread presence of information–stealing applications raises substantial security and privacy concerns. The operating systems supporting these new devices have both advantages and disadvantages with respect to security. On one hand, they use application sandboxing to contain exploits and limit privileges given to malware. On the other hand, they routinely collect and organize many forms of security– and privacy–sensitive information and make that information easily accessible to third–party applications. Recognizing smartphone security and privacy as an emerging area, this workshop intends to provide a venue for interested researchers and practitioners to get together and exchange ideas. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following subject categories: Device/hardware security OS/middleware security Application security Authenticating users to devices and services Mobile web browsers Usability Privacy Rogue application detection and recovery Vulnerability detection and remediation Secure application development Cloud support for mobile security Mobile device management Mobile ads Dual persona management and isolation We also encourage novel paradigms and controversial ideas that are not on the above list. The workshop is to act as a venue for creative debate and interaction in security– and privacy–sensitive areas of computing and communication impacted by smartphones. We will favor submissions that are radical, forward–looking, and open–ended, as opposed to mature work on the verge of conference or journal publication. Submissions that discuss a real–world problem without a solution are encouraged.
