Proceedings of the Third ACM workshop on Security and privacy in smartphones & mobile devices

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Third ACM Workshop on Security and Privacy in Smartphones and Mobile Devices --SPSM'13, held in association with the 20th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security, November 8th, 2013 in Berlin (Germany). The workshop was created two years ago to respond to the increasing interest and research activities centered on security and privacy issues in smartphones and mobile devices. The last two editions were very well received. We had over 80 attendees in both years. The call for papers in 2013 attracted a record of 54 submissions. They came from 19 different countries in Europe, North America, Asia and Africa. The program committee accepted 5 full papers and 8 short papers that cover a variety of topics, including detecting malware on smartphones, attacks and defenses against mobile devices, and authentication as well as privacy issues of mobile users. We are especially pleased to have a keynote speech by Jon Geator, Chief Technology Officer of Trustonic. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for security researchers and developers.
