                   Keynote Abstract
Mobile platforms have enabled third-party app ecosystems
that provide users with an endless supply of rich content. At
the same time, mobile devices present very serious privacy
risks: their ability to capture real-time data about our behav-
iors and preferences has created a marketplace for user data
that most consumers are simply unaware of. In this talk, I
will present prior and ongoing research that my group has
performed to understand how users make privacy decisions
on their mobile devices, including work that we have done
to improve the usability of the permission-granting process
through the use of machine learning. I will also present re-
search that my research group has conducted to automat-
ically examine the privacy behaviors of mobile apps. Us-
ing analysis tools that we developed, we have tested over
100,000 of the most popular Android apps to examine what
data they access and with whom they share it. I will present
data on how mobile apps are tracking and profiling users,
how these practices are often against users’ expectations and
public disclosures, and how app developers may be violating
various privacy regulations.

                        Biography
Serge Egelman is the Research Director of the Usable Se-
curity and Privacy group at the International Computer Sci-
ence Institute (ICSI), which is an independent research in-
stitute affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley.
He conducts research to help people make more informed
online privacy and security decisions, and is generally in-
terested in consumer protection. This has included improve-
ments to web browser security warnings, authentication on
social networking websites, and most recently, privacy on
mobile devices. Seven of his research publications have re-
ceived awards at the ACM CHI conference, which is the top
venue for human-computer interaction research; his research
on privacy on mobile platforms has been cited in numerous
lawsuits and regulatory actions. He received his PhD from
Carnegie Mellon University.
