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

CONFERENCE VENUE

Star Hotels Majestic Turin

The hotel is located in downtown Turin, just a short distance from the
historical center of town, from the famous shopping streets and opposite
the Railway Station of Porta Nuova. Turin was built in a baroque, Liberty
and quite seducive style, perfectly interpreted by the elegant 4 stars
hotel, which was just recently renovated. Ideal for meetings and events,
it offers 10 rooms with a maximum capacity of 484 delegates.
