Call for Papers
To many people, smartphones have been an indispensable part of daily life
and work. With personal financial and medical information and job related
data being processed on smartphones and related mobile systems and networks,
it is critically important that the development and advancement of secure
mobile operating systems, secure mobile applications, secure smartphone
devices and cellular networks keep up with the ever-growing smartphone
usage. For this reason, this research area has been a very important
sector in the network and telecommunication industry and a focus of funded
research projects in many research institutes. The scope of MobiSec 2017
encompasses the security, privacy, and digital forensics of mobile systems
and networks, including but not limited to Android, iOS and Windows Mobile
operating systems, smartphones and applications for these platforms and
devices, as well as cellular networks. Topics of interest include (but are
not limited to) the following subject categories:
* Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile security and privacy
* Digital forensics on mobile operating systems, applications and smartphones
* Secure mobile application development
* Smartphone device/hardware security
* Mobile application security and digital forensics
* Mobile user authentication and authorization
* Multi-factor mobile authentication
* Mobile user privacy
* Mobile vulnerability detection and remediation
* Intrusion detection and recovery on mobile OS, applications, smartphones, and cellular networks
* Secure cloud for mobile environment
* Mobile device management
* 4G and 5G security
