Nowadays, we entrust our smartphones more and more private information. At the same time, smartphones OSes still do not provide clear visibility and control of how such private information is used. Recent research results outlined that a large fraction of mobile apps are actually abusing our privacy!

In this seminar, we address this problem. The seminar aims at establishing a link between two hot topics in computer science: The first topic is the security solutions and known vulnerabiltities on modern mobile devices. The second topic is the program analysis for low-level languages, e.g., Android's Dalvik bytecode, X86, or ARM. Cutting-edge research papers from these two areas will be considered in the seminar. Part of the seminar will be devoted to a discussion on how techniques from the area of program analysis can help to improve the state-of-the-art security on mobile devices.
