Singapore Management University established the Secure Mobile Centre (SMC) on 15 October 2014 following an announcement by the National Research Foundation (NRF) on awarded projects under the National Cybersecurity R&D programme.
SMC hosts the National Satellite of Excellence in Mobile Systems Security and Cloud Security (NSoE MSS-CS), a five year research initiative (April 2019 - March 2024) sponsored by NRF's National Cybersecurity R&D programme. The NSoE MSS-CS aims to build a mobile system security and mobile cloud security technology pipeline for smart nation applications. Detailed description of the research scope can be found here.
The overall objective is to build a mobile system security and mobile cloud security technology pipeline for smart nation applications.
Specifically, the programme would like to direct its core research and competitive grant calls to address mobile and cloud security issues in the context of real-time monitoring/decision systems in the smart nation.
The research scope of the programme is summarised in the diagram below.
Not only do mobile devices and applications present a unique set of risks for individual's privacy, but also new security challenges to enterprise information systems. The purpose of SMU’s Secure Mobile Centre is to address these security needs with the aim of making Singapore a more sustainable, secure, robust and resilient nation.
Information security has become a paramount concern in today’s digital age. As mobile computing evolves rapidly, both emerging opportunities and risks leave much room for exploration by security experts and exploitation by hackers.
