我们调查网络安全工具包，即旨在帮助用户实现在线安全的面向公众的材料集合。通过对41个在线工具包的定性分析，我们提出了一套关键的设计维度：代理规模(谁负责安全)、可达性(安全能否实现)和干预阶段(何时采取安全措施)。认识到工具包在社会和文化中的位置，我们揭示了工具包如何将安全构建为一种价值，以及在这样做的过程中，它们如何将人构建为安全的用户。我们的中心是不同漏洞的概念，这是一种对安全的理解，认为安全是社会偶然的，对手是不稳定的人物，风险是基于关系位置的标记(例如，阶级、种族、宗教、性别、地理、经验)而不同地应用的。我们认为，差异漏洞在未来的安全资源中提供了一个关键的设计问题，也是安全讨论的一个关键概念。
We investigate cybersecurity toolkits, collections of public facing materials intended to help users achieve security online. Through a qualitative analysis of 41 online toolkits, we present a set of key design dimensions: agentive scale (who is responsible for security), achievability (can security be achieved), and interventional stage (when are security measures taken). Recognizing toolkits as socially and culturally situated, we surface ways in which toolkits construct security as a value and, in so doing, how they construct people as (in)secure users. We center the notion of differential vulnerabilities, an understanding of security that recognizes safety as socially contingent, adversaries as unstable figures, and risk as differentially applied based on markers of relational position (e.g. class, race, religion, gender, geography, experience). We argue that differential vulnerabilities provides a key design concern in future security resources, and a critical concept for security discourses.
