Welcome to MobiSec 2009

Mole Antonelliana

The First International ICST Conference on Security and Privacy in Mobile Information and Communication Systems

June 3-5, 2009 - Turin, Italy

Sponsored by ICST
Technically-sponsored by Create-Net

Scope

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.

Papers

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.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
Trust in autonomic and opportunistic communication
Location based applications security and privacy
Security for the networked home environment
Security and privacy for mobile communities
Mobile emergency communication, public safety
Lawful interception and mandatory data retention
Security of mobile agents and code
Idenity management
Embedded security

Publications

Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the MobiSec Conference Proceedings, and published by Springer in the Lecture Notes of the Institute for ComputerSciences, Social-Informatics and Tele-communications Engineering (LNICST) series. The content of the proceedings will be reviewed by various indexing services such as the DBLP database, ZBlMath/CompuServe, MATHSCINET, EI-INSPEC, IET, RPS, Computer Science Bibliography Administrator, Elsevier Bibliographic Databases Source Management, ULRICH, CSA, ProQuest.

Selected high-quality papers will be invited to Special Issues in the Journals Security and Communication Networks (SCN) (Wiley). and the International Journal of Mobile Computing and Multimedia Communications (IJMCMC) (IGI Global).

Tutorial

Andrei Gurtov, Adjunct Professor, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology (HIIT) Finland, will present a half-day tutorial at MobiSec on the Host Identification Protocol (HIP).

Workshops

The MobiSec 2009 Workshop Chairs and the MobiSec Organizing Committee invite proposals for workshops to be held with the First Annual International Conference on Security and Privacy in Mobile Information and Communication Systems (MobiSec).
