Security and Privacy in Mobile Devices, Apps, and Services

The quick rise in mobile device use has lead to the emergence of a wide variety of security and privacy issues that are close at hand to a large portion of the world's population. Modern mobile devices, however, are more than just telephones, computers, or sensors, and they have forever changed the mobile telecommunication and computing landscape. However, the unique system-of-systems nature of smartphones and tablets, comprising communication, networking, sensing, actuation, storage, navigation, and various other features, break the typical computer security, communication security, and network security definitions and force a drastic re-imagining of mobile security and privacy. Our work focuses on these aspects of mobile security that do not align with the existing definitions and models.
