In a remarkably short time, mobile computing capability has become a fundamental feature in the lives of billions of people, who have developed an unprecedented reliance on smart phones and tablets compared to any previous computing technology. With the trend of bring your own device, mobile devices are increasingly used to access and store sensitive corporate information as well. However, value and risk are intertwined. Not only do mobile devices and applications present a unique set of risks to personal privacy, they also pose new security challenges to enterprise information systems. This talk will provide an overview of the research activities conducted in the Secure Mobile Center at the Singapore Management University, from techniques to fortifying mobile platforms, mobile malware analysis and detection, scalable access control of encrypted data in the cloud, to secure and usable authentication schemes in mobile computing. |
