Title: Attacks in Android Mobile User Interfaces exposing user’s privacy and personal data

Abstract: This keynote speech presents research in problems that appear in recent mobile OS User Interfaces. Mobile devices are highly dependent on the design of user interfaces, since their size and computational cost introduce considerable constraints. Therefore, both UX and UI are considered as top priorities among major mobile OS platforms. This keynote speech highlights pitfalls in the design of Android UI which can greatly expose users and break user trust in the UI by proving how deceiving it can be in a number of UI attacks.
