Security and Privacy Engineering in a Mobile World
Abstract
Computers, devices, people, and even digital currencies are on the move in today’s world. This presents challenges to security and privacy engineering. In this talk, we will discuss our group’s work on robust authentication methods for smartphones and wearable devices, solutions and attacks against privacy with mobile systems, how your car insurance policies may violate your privacy in surprising ways, and how people think about security and privacy with Bitcoin – a new form of a digital currency.
