2012 ACM CCS Workshop on Security and Privacy in Smartphones and Mobile
Devices (SPSM)
in conjunction with the 19th ACM Conference on Computer and
Communications Security (CCS), October 16-18 2011, Chicago, IL
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 source of pain for adopting users
and organizations. For example, the wide-spread 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 offered security. On one hand,
they use application sandboxing to contain exploits and limit privileges given
to malware. On the other hand, they collect and organize many forms of security
and privacy sensitive information simply as a matter of operation, and make
that information easily accessible to downloaded third-party applications.
Recognizing smartphone security and privacy as the emerging area, this workshop
intends to provide a venue for interested researchers and practitioners to get
together and exchange ideas, thus to deepen our understanding to various
security and privacy issues on smartphones, specifically the platforms such as
iOS and Android. Topics of interests 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
We also would like to especially 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.

Submissions
Authors are invited to submit either Full Research Papers (of up to 12 pages)
or Short Papers (of up to 6 pages). Full Research Papers that present
relatively complete and mature research results on security and privacy in
smartphones and mobile devices are solicited. Short Papers that define new
problems in security and privacy related to smartphones and mobile devices or
provide inspiring visions are also solicited.
Submissions must be in double-column ACM format (available at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) with a font no
smaller than 9 point. Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions need to be
numbered and should not substantially overlap with papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with
proceedings. All authors and their affiliations must be listed. Each accepted
paper must be presented by one registered author. Submissions not meeting these
guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Accepted
papers will be published by the ACM Press and/or the ACM Digital Library.
