Holloway, University of London in September 2007. He also has an M.Sc.
Computer Science from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad and B.Sc.
(Mathematics, Physics and Geography) from University of the Punjab, Lahore. His
research interests revolve around the user-centric applied security and privacy
architectures, especially in the field of smart cards, and data provenance in a
heterogeneous computing environment. In addition, he is also interested in smart
card security, secure cryptographic protocol design and implementation, smartphone
security, trusted platform architecture and trusted/secure execution environment.
Tony Boswell began working in IT security as a security evaluator in one of the
original UK government Evaluation Facilities in 1987. Since then, he has worked
on a wide range of secure system developments and evaluations (including the
ITSEC E6 certifications of the Mondex purse and the MULTOS smart card oper-
ating system) in the government and commercial domains. Tony has been involved
in UK and international interpretation of evaluation requirements for smart cards
since 1995 and continues to contribute to multinational technical community work
on interpretation and maintenance of Common Criteria evaluation requirements, as
well as assisting developers to take their products through Common Criteria
evaluations. He is currently a senior principal consultant at DNV GL and technical
manager of the DNV GL Technical Ass urance Laboratory CLEF.
Joos Cadonau received his B.Sc. in Electronic Engineering and Telecommunication
in 1994 from the University of Applied Sciences in Bern, Switzerland. After his degree,
he worked as project manager for the primary Swiss Telecommunication provider
Swisscom AG in Network Access Management Systems, followed by a project
manager role in Ascom AG in the area of PBX switches (Private Branch Exchange).
From 2001 until 2011, he acted as Product Manager for Sicap AG, a Swisscom sub-
sidiary, managing SIM-based over-the-air solutions for telecommunication customers
all over the globe. During this period, he focused on the role of the SIM card in
