Thanks for attending

Thanks for attending the Workshop on Web Applications and Secure Hardware!

The day was a great success. There were fascinating presentations from researchers, academics and developers from a wide variety of backgrounds. This generated a lot of discussion on topics such as usability, web standards, challenges facing deployment of authentication systems and the difference between mobile and PC security architectures.

I will publish a longer article summarising the day and some of the discussion next week. Presentation slides and full proceedings will also be available shortly – check the Programme page for more information.

Finally – thanks to our hosts Imperial College London (Professor Huth in particular) and to our sponsors Gemalto. This would also not be possible without support from the webinos project.

We have a packed agenda (with talks and events going on at least between 9:00-5:30) and we’re hoping to have an evening social event too.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Paper notifications sent

I’m delighted to announce that we have now sent notifications to paper authors. The provisional programme will be announced shortly.

We had a fantastic set of submissions and an acceptance rate of approximately 50%. All papers received at least three reviews, with authors from a mixture of industry and academia.

Thank you to all the authors and reviewers. If you have not already done so, please take this opportunity to register to attend on June 20th.
