This range of features introduces new security and privacy threats, which expose users to serious damages. Even though research in mobile security has been active over the past 10 years, as long as the mobile technology is used, new challenges will always come up. The purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers, hardware and software developers, as well as practitioners and policy makers, to explore the latest advances in the security and privacy for mobile devices.</span></p>
