Proceedings of the 2014 ACM conference on Security and privacy in wireless & mobile networks

It is with great pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec'14). WiSec'14 brings together experts from industry, government and academia with the goal of tackling the greatest security challenges facing mobile and wireless networks and devices. Now in its seventh year, WiSec'14 continues to deliver on objective, as we are certain you will see in our mix of research papers, invited speakers and impromptu discussions. This year, WiSec received 96 complete paper submissions. Our program committee, which was carefully composed of experts from diverse sectors of employment, geographic location and background, selected a total of 25 papers for publication, which yielded an acceptance rate of approximately 26%. These long and short papers cover the gamut of research in wireless and mobile security: topics including physical layer jamming and mobile applications to the use of GPS by critical infrastructure and weaknesses in implementations of cryptographic algorithms. It is this diversity of coverage and depth of expertise that will make the next few days well worth your travels. As a special note this year, we are happy to partner with the organizers of RFIDSec and co-locate our two events. Our topics have deep and obvious overlap, and creating possibilities for both communities to interact seemed like too good an opportunity to neglect. We hope that you will use this opportunity to seek out researchers and practitioners outside of your normal circles, and use this event as the seed for strong collaboration in the future.
