The convergence of information and communication technology is most
palpable in the form of 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.
MobiSec brings together leading-edge researchers from academia and
industry in the field of mobile systems security and privacy, as well
as practitioners, standards developers and policymakers.

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
