Next week I’ll be heading over to Las Vegas for the world’s biggest security and hacking conferences; Blackhat and DEFCON. Here’s a short run-down of some presentations and briefings that are related to mobile. Obviously there are many others that may also be relevant to mobile (e.g. SSL attacks or HTML5). As you can see, mobile interest is again steadily going up, as well as in other embedded platforms such as automotive and in-home systems. It looks like it is going to be a pretty interesting, if slightly scary week!
