It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 International Workshop on Security and Privacy Aspects of Mobile Environments -- SPME'14. As the TPC chairs and organizers on its first year, we hope SPME will create the tradition of being a forum for presentation of early research results and candid discussions on issues related to security & privacy including systems and theory results for communications, devices and applications security in mobile environments. The mission of the workshop is to timely share novel ideas and early results that might eventually fulfill the security and privacy needs of stakeholders, and help the research community identify promising directions for future research and development.
In its first year, the call for papers for the workshop attracted 12 submissions from Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States. The program committee accepted 7 high-quality papers that cover a variety of topics, including analysis of privacy risks to users of mobile devices, new privacy preserving protocols for behavioral targeting and access control techniques in mobile environments. We hope that the proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for security researchers and developers.
In addition to the proceedings, the workshop program includes a panel discussion and a keynote talk. We encourage attendees to attend the keynote and invited talk presentations as well as the technical presentation sessions.
