Security and Privacy in Medical and Home-Care Systems (SPIMACS)
Medical information is moving online. Simultaneously, ubiquitous and medical 
technologies are making homes aware, active, responsive, and thus vulnerable.   
Examples of unique security challenges include defense against traffic analysis 
with medium latency requirements for physical security or some cases of medical 
monitoring, or sensor networks that need to be managed (and be made trustworthy) 
by na•ve users. 

These challenges are compounded when the technology in the home is for the 
purpose of monitoring for medical purposes. Medical monitoring and home 
monitoring of vulnerable populations create unique security and privacy risks in 
design and application.

SPIMACS (pronounced spy-max) seeks to bring together the computer and social 
scientists that will be required to address the challenges of securing the 
intimate digital spaces of the most vulnerable.
