11th International Workshop on Security of Mobile Applications (IWSMA 2022)
to be held in conjunction with the 17 th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security
(ARES 2022 – http://www.ares-conference.eu )
August 23 – August 26, 2022
Since the advent of Smartphones, mobile applications have been one of the most thriving areas in the last years. Thus, securing mobile applications, as well as protecting private user data, have to be considered as key research topics in the realm of security research. Furthermore, the topic of protecting sensitive data, both, intrinsic like location data, as well as user data stored on the device, grows ever more important due to the targeted attacks made publically known during the last years. The International Workshop on Security of Mobile Applications (co-located with the ARES-conference) focuses on bringing together researchers from all over the world to share their experience and present recent research. In addition, with the constant introduction of mobile communication in offline environments, especially in the home/building automation community and within industrial environments (Industry 4.0), securing communication in such environments is another important topic of this Workshop. This also includes the research in the area of securing transportation systems, like cars and trains and extends to other thriving research areas in distributed computing like blockchains and distributed ledgers.

Mobile security/privacy policies
Mobile protocols and protocol security
Securing private data on Smartphones
