Abstract

Modern smartphones become ubiquitous devices packed with many powerful sensors that enable the phone to collect personal data, such as audio sensor (microphone), image sensor (camera), touch sensor (screen), acceleration sensor (tri-axial accelerometer), light sensor, proximity sensor, GPS, etc. Great concerns are raised towards the data privacy and security in smartphone sensing. In this talk, I will discuss some security/privacy issues and available solutions in smartphone sensing. The following paper is used as the main references:
