PRISMS 2013 - International Conference on Privacy and Security in Mobile Systems

Atlantic City, NJ, USA
24 - 27 June 2013
http://www.gws2013.org/prisms/


* Technical co-Sponsorship by IEEE.
* Proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore.
* PRISMS is part of the Global Wireless Summit 2013 (GWS-2013).

PRISMS is the successor of MobiSec (International Conference on Security and Privacy in Mobile Information and Communication Systems). The conference under a new name (PRISMS) is organized this year with the co-sponsorship of IEEE. Its focus is the convergence of information and communication technology in mobile scenarios. This convergence is realised in intelligent mobile devices, accompanied by the advent of next-generation communication networks. Privacy and security aspects need to be covered at all layers of mobile networks, from mobile devices, to privacy respecting credentials and mobile identity management, up to machine-to-machine communications.

In particular, mobile devices such as Smartphones and Internet Tablets have been very successful in commercialization. However, their security mechanisms are not always able to deal with the growing trend of information-stealing attacks. As mobile communication and information processing becomes a commodity, economy and society require protection of this precious resource. Mobility and trust in networking go hand in hand for future generations of users, who need privacy and security at all layers of technology. In addition, the introduction of new data collection practices and data-flows (e.g. sensing data) from the mobile device makes it more difficult to understand the new security and privacy threats introduced.

PRISMS strives to bring together the leading-edge of academia and industry in mobile systems security, as well as practitioners, standards developers and policymakers. Contributions may range from architecture designs and implementations to cryptographic solutions for mobile and resource-constrained devices.

PUBLICATIONS
============

Accepted papers will be published via the IEEE Xplore digital library. Best Paper Awards and Best Student Paper Awards (the first author should be a full-time student) will be granted. Selected high-quality papers will be invited to a Special Issue in the Journal of "Security and Communication Networks" (SCN, Wiley; to be confirmed).

PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit original papers of up to 8 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers including figures, tables, and references, in PDF format. It is strongly recommended to use the standard IEEE template for preparing your manuscript. Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference.
