 Seventh Workshop in Information Security Theory and Practice (WISTP 2013)
 "Security of Mobile and Cyber-physical Systems"
 May 28-30, 2013, Heraklion, Greece---www.wistp.org
 
 WISTP 2013 Background and Goals
 -------------------------------
 
 Current developments in IT are characterized by an increasing use of
 personal mobile devices and an increasing reliance on IT for
 supporting industrial applications in the physical world. A new
 persepctive on socio-technical and cyber-physical systems is required
 that sees in IT more than just an infrastructure but focuses on the
 ever closer integration between social and technical processes as
 well.
 
 Application markets, such as Google Play and Apple App Store drive a
 mobile ecosystem, offering new business models with high turnovers
 and new opportunities, which however, also attract cybercriminals and
 raise new privacy concerns.
 
 In the area of cyber-physical systems, research has to go beyond
 securing the IT infrastructure and to consider attacks launched by
 combining manipulations in physical space and cyber space.
 
 The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting
 novel research on all aspects of security and privacy of mobile
 devices, such as Android and iOS platforms, as well as studies on
 securing cyber-physical systems. Topics of interest include, but are
 not limited to:
 
 *  Vulnerability detection
 *  Application security
 *  Usability
 *  Privacy
 *  Mobile malware
 *  Mobile OSes security analysis
 *  Cloud-enhanced mobile security
 *  BYOD contexts
 *  Securing systems controlling industrial processes

 Submissions must describe original and previously unpublished
 research.  Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers
 that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a
 journal or conference/workshop with proceedings. Each submission

 (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). All
 submissions should be anonymous (i.e., no author names/affiliations
 and obvious citations).  Submissions are to be made to the submission
 web site (http://www.wistp.org/submission-details/).
 
 Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these
 guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
 Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in
 Computer Science series (http://www.springeronline.com/lncs), and the
 proceedings will be available at the workshop. The camera-ready
 version of the accepted papers must follow Springer guidelines (a
 LaTeX source file will be required).
 
 If a submitted paper is mainly the work of a student author, this
 paper is eligible for the best student paper award. To participate in
 this selection process, please add the word "STUDENT" in the
 affiliation field in the submission form.
 
 Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be
 presented at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper
