MoST 2014 - International Workshop on Mobile Security Technologies

With the development of new mobile platforms, such as Android and iOS, mobile computing has shown exponential growth in popularity in recent years. To benefit from the availability of constantly-growing consumer base, new services and applications are being built from the composition of existing ones at breakneck speed. This rapid growth has also been coupled with new security and privacy concerns and challenges. For instance, more and more sensitive content is being collected and shared by third-party applications that, if misused, can have serious security and privacy repercussions. Consequently, there is a growing need to study and address these new challenges.
The goal of the MoST workshop is to bring together researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and hardware and software developers of mobile systems to explore the latest understanding and advances in the security and privacy for mobile devices, applications, and systems. The scope of MoST 2014 includes, but is not limited to, security and privacy specifically for mobile devices and services related to: Device hardware, Operating systems, Middleware, Mobile web, Secure and efficient communication, Secure application development tools and practices, Privacy, Vulnerabilities and remediation techniques, Usable security, Identity and access control, Risks in putting trust in the device vs. in the network/cloud, Special applications, such as medical monitoring and records, Mobile advertisement, Secure applications and application markets, and Economic impact of security and privacy technologies. We are seeking both short position papers (2-4 pages) and longer papers (a maximum of 10 pages).
