Smartphone applications

This talk considers the broad challenge of smartphone security. Smartphones are equivalent to formerly gigantic desktop computers, yet we carry them around with us everywhere we go. This naturally introduces new security vulnerabilities and challenges. We will discuss problems old and new, including clever mechanisms built into Android, user interface issues, how apps can safely collaborate while still mistrusting one another, and generally how we can or cannot bring to bear techniques that we've learned elsewhere from the design and engineering of secure systems.
