Network and Distributed System Security (NDSS) Symposium 2025 · Day 2 · Privacy & Usability 2
The proliferation of voice applications, particularly Amazon Alexa skills, has brought unprecedented convenience to users. However, this convenience often comes with significant privacy concerns, as these applications frequently collect user data without transparent or easily understandable disclosure. This talk, presented by Jingwen Yan from Clemson University, introduces **SKILLPoV**, a novel system designed to create accessible and effective **Privacy Notice over Voice (PoV)** for Amazon Alexa skills.

Legitimate academic systems paper on a real, underserved problem — privacy disclosure UX for voice interfaces. Competent execution, reasonable evaluation metrics, but the threat model is modest and the technical novelty is thin enough that this sits comfortably in a workshop proceedings slot rather than a headline conference track.
