IMPS 2016: Innovations in Mobile Privacy and Security
Call for Papers

http://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/security/IMPS/

Deadline: **29th February 2016**
Workshop: **6th April 2016**


IMPS aims to bring together researchers working on challenges in
security and privacy for mobile platforms, broadly considered. We are
interested in investigations into existing security platforms, their
users, applications and app store ecosystems, and research into novel
security or privacy mechanisms, tools and analysis.

IMPS 2016 will be on 6th April 2016, at Royal Holloway, University of
London, UK, alongside the ESSoS 16 conference
(see https://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/essos/2016/).

The invited speakers are:

- Alastair Beresford, University of Cambridge
- Erik Bodden, TU Darmstadt and EC SPRIDE

Areas of interest include but are not restricted to:

- Secure application development tools and practices
- Privacy enhancing techniques for devices and connected services
- Secure or trusted computing mechanisms
- Static and dynamic analysis for security
- Formal methods for mobile security
- Vulnerability detection and prevention
- Mobile operating system security features
- Security and privacy for IoT and other constrained devices
- Usable security and privacy on small or mobile devices

As a workshop, we particularly encourage new and emerging themes,
possibly non-conventional ideas, which address the problem area.
