Proceedings of the 5th Annual ACM CCS Workshop on Security and Privacy in Smartphones and Mobile Devices

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 5th annual ACM CCS Workshop on Security and Privacy in Smartphones and Mobile Devices (SPSM 2015). The workshop was created to organize and foster discussion of security in the emerging area of smartphone and mobile device computing. As organizers of top security venues, we've observed a consistently large number of submissions describing novel approaches to solving the challenges of this area. We wanted to provide a dedicated venue to discuss these challenges and promising approaches for future research directions. The call for papers attracted submissions from Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Mexico, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and the United States. The program committee reviewed and accepted 9 of 25 submitted papers. We are also honored to have a keynote speech by Alex Manea, Director, BlackBerry Security on The Past, Present and Future of Digital Privacy. We hope that you will find this program interesting and thought-provoking and that the workshop will provide you with a valuable opportunity to share ideas with other researchers and practitioners from institutions around the world.
