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. - ... Submission Papers should be submitted using EasyChair system. Authors are invited to submit original papers not previously published nor submitted in parallel for publication to any other conference, workshop or journal. Papers should be in English. --Regular papers: up to 16 pages (include everything). --Short papers: up to 7 pages (include everything); forward-looking position papers are very welcome. Papers must be formatted using Springer LNICST Authors' Kit. Instructions and templates are available: - for LaTeX instructions and documentclass and style files.
