Call for papers


SCOPE

MobiSec's focus is the convergence of information and communication technology in mobile scenarios. This convergence is realised in intelligent mobile devices, accompanied by the advent of converged, and next-generation, communication networks. As mobile communication and information processing becomes a commodity, economy and society require protection of this precious resource. Mobility and trust in networking go hand in hand for future generations of users, who need privacy and security at all layers of technology. MobiSec strives to bring together the leading-edge of academia and industry in mobile systems security, as well as practitioners, standards developers and policymakers.

PAPERS

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. MobiSec solicits original, high-quality research contributions in the form of full papers. The focus is on the security of information and communication systems including mobile networks, devices and applications. Papers from other areas, e.g., formal methods, cryptography, database security, operating system security, will be considered if a clear connection to one of the topics below is demonstrated.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following focus areas, as applied to mobile ICT:

  • Security architectures for next-generation, new-generation, and converged communication networks
  • Trusted mobile devices, hardware security
  • Network resilience
  • Threat analyses for mobile systems
  • Multi-hop authentication and trust
  • Non-repudiation of communication
  • Context-aware and data-centric security
  • Protection and safety of distributed mobile data
  • Mobile application security
  • Security for voice and multimedia communication
  • Machine-to-machine communication security
  • Trust in autonomic and opportunistic communication
  • Location based applications security and privacy
  • Security for the networked home environment
  • Security and privacy for mobile communities
  • Mobile emergency communication, public safety
  • Lawful interception and mandatory data retention
  • Security aspects in IP-based mobility
  • Security of mobile agents and code
  • Idenity management
  • Embedded security
