Call for Paper

The International Workshop on System Level Security of Smartphones (SLSS)
in conjunction with SecureComm 2014
(Beijing, China, September 23, 2014)

Scope

This workshop will discuss various aspects of system level security of
smartphones, and stitch together the aspects into holistic and deep
understandings. Some specific aspects include system metadata abuse,
.so level rootkits in Android, finer-grained protection domains,
cross-layer vulnerability analysis, and context-aware access control.

Through the workshop, some new vulnerabilities and attack on
Android/IOS systems could be revealed, and some security design
principles of next generation smartphone Operating Systems could be
identified.

The workshop will be more discussion oriented than regular workshops,
it will include a few selected presentations, each with a 15 minutes
speech and 45 minutes discussion.

Topics

Research contributions are solicited in all aspects related to system
level security of smartphones, including but not limited to:

- System level vulnerabilities of Android/ IOS system, for example
   cross-layer vulnerability analysis, service vulnerabilities, etc.

- New attacks on Android/IOS systems, for example metadata-based
   attack, .so level rootkits, etc.

- Design of next generation secure smartphone systems, for example
   finer-grained protection domains, context-aware access control,
   etc.

-  ...
