    There will also be a little bit of FBK in the next Android release. The solution to a bug in one of the most famous operating systems worldwide proved effective and will be introduced in the coming months in the updates for smartphones and tablet computers.    

    It could have made devices based on Google's operating system unusable and easily exploited by malicious software applications. The vulnerability, though, was identified and neutralized by a group of researchers from Italian universities and research centers, such as FBK, the university of Genoa, the E-Campus Telematic University  and  the University of Padua. 

    In this month's spotlight, Alessandro Armando, Head of the “Security & Trust” research unit at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Trento and coordinator of the Artificial Intelligence Lab of the DIST, tells us what they found out.
