===================================================================== 3rd International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Spontaneous Interaction and Mobile Device Use (IWSSI/SPMU 2011) - Call for Papers ===================================================================== http://www.mimuc.de/iwssi2011 San Francisco, CA, USA in conjunction with Pervasive 2011 *Important Dates* ----------------- Submission Deadline: February 11, 2011 Notification to Authors: March 11, 2011 Camera-Ready Papers: March 26, 2011 Workshop: June 12, 2011 *Scope* ------- Mobile devices in general, and mobile phones in particular, present unique challenges not only in terms of user interface, battery life, and form factor, but also in terms of ensuring their users' privacy and security. Privacy and security are often in conflict with another and have been the topic of many research projects. Emerging mobile payment and ticketing solutions require the secure transmission and storage of financial information, while electronic health records or access certificates/tokens might imply the use of highly sensitive personal information on such devices. Securing the potentially massive amount of interactions using mobile devices is difficult, because typically there will be no a priori shared information such as passwords, addresses, or PIN codes between the phone, its user, and the service they want to use. Additionally, mobile devices often lack powerful user interfaces to support classical authentication methods. The 3rd International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Spontaneous Interaction and Mobile Device Use (IWSSI/SPMU'2011) provides a forum to discuss these challenges and to put forward an agenda for future research. The workshop is intended to foster cooperation between research groups and to establish a highly connected research community. Authors of selected workshop submissions will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue in a renowned international journal. Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following items as they appear in the context of spontaneous interaction and/or mobile device use: * Authentication protocols and methods for device pairing or user authentication * Sensor-, context-, and location-based authentication methods * Authorization, access control, and trust management * Logging and auditing of spontaneous interactions with mobile devices * Network and system models * Security and privacy of mobile phone users * Security and privacy issues in mobile phone networks * Privacy and anonymous/pseudonymous interactions * User interfaces and models for user interaction on mobile devices * Making use of spontaneous interaction in applications * Public perception of security and privacy issues of mobile phones * Legal and social issues of security and privacy for mobile phones * Options for lawful, auditable, and restricted tracking and surveillance using mobile phones in law enforcement *Contributions* --------------- There will be two separate categories for submission: * Full papers: We solicit novel contributions of up to 6 pages (ACM Format) on any of the topics of interest or related areas. These papers must not significantly overlap with other papers previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published online on the IWSII/SPMU09 website. Authors of selected submissions will also be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue in a renowned international journal. * Position papers: Position papers should be no longer than 2 pages (ACM Format) and may present already published work in the context of this workshop, work in progress, as well as ideas and concepts for future research. We encourage authors to submit to both categories if deemed appropriate. An international program committee will select around 12-15 contributions. Authors of accepted full and position papers will be invited to give short presentations at the beginning of the workshop with brief discussion phases, followed by an open panel and more specific discussion groups to discuss common ground and open challenges. The open panel is also a forum for informally presenting demonstrators, which will be actively encouraged. Video and other supplementary material will be published on the workshop web page to provide further incentive for showing prototypes. Contributions must be sent by email to no later than February 04, 2011, and should be in PDF format. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact the organizers at the above email address. *Organizing Committee* ---------------------- Rene Mayrhofer (Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences, Austria) Marc Langheinrich (University of Lugano, Switzerland) Alexander De Luca (LMU Munich, Germany) *Program Committee* (confirmed) ------------------------------- Paul Dunphy (Newcastle University, UK) Pieter Hartel (University of Twente, NL) Apu Kapadia (Indiana University Bloomington, US) John Krumm (Microsoft Research Redmond, US) Ponnurangam Kumaraguru (IIIT Delhi, India) Jonathan M.
