Recent virus and worm attacks that spread through "holes" in popular consumer software emphasize the role the online public must play in preserving the safety and integrity of the Internet. To protect the network commons, more users must engage in safe online behavior by such actions as controlling their private information, updating software security patches, downloading protective software, and filtering their email. While network security remains an abstract notion to the general public, online consumers can understand the issue in terms of their personal privacy behavior, actions that result in the undesired disclosure of information and unwanted intrusions on their personal cyberspace. The proposed project develops a theoretical model of online safety behavior, evaluates and tests that model in the context of current security interventions, and develops and tests a consumer online safety tool. The term i-Safety connotes information safety and also the role that all individuals play in preserving it. The project will improve understanding of online safety behavior. The proposed research extends and validates a model of the psychological and social factors that motivate Internet users to act safely online, with the ultimate goal of creating effective interventions that will encourage safe online behavior. safety instruction, and the effectiveness of the application will be evaluated. Broader impacts will follow from the dissemination of the results of the study to online security developers and educators and from the release of the personalized safety assessment tool to the public. The proposed research will guide the development of new network security models that require user actions to implement, evaluate the effectiveness of current approaches to encouraging safe online behavior, and provide the online public with a tool with which to manage and control their own risks while maximizing the collective security of the Internet

最近的病毒和蠕虫攻击通过流行的消费者软件中的“漏洞”传播，强调了在线公众在维护互联网安全和完整性方面必须发挥的作用。 为了保护网络公共空间，更多的用户必须通过控制自己的私人信息、更新软件安全补丁、下载保护软件和过滤电子邮件等行动来参与安全的在线行为。虽然网络安全对公众来说仍然是一个抽象的概念，但在线消费者可以从他们的个人隐私行为方面理解这个问题，这些行为导致信息的不希望的披露和对他们个人网络空间的不希望的入侵。拟议的项目开发了一个在线安全行为的理论模型，在当前安全干预的背景下评估和测试该模型，并开发和测试消费者在线安全工具。i-Safety一词意味着信息安全以及所有个人在保护信息安全中所扮演的角色。该项目将提高对在线安全行为的理解。拟议的研究扩展并验证了一个激励互联网用户安全上网的心理和社会因素模型，最终目标是创建有效的干预措施，鼓励安全的在线行为。安全说明，并评估应用程序的有效性。 向在线安全开发人员和教育工作者传播研究结果以及向公众发布个性化安全评估工具将产生更广泛的影响。拟议的研究将指导新的网络安全模型的开发，这些模型需要用户采取行动来实施，评估当前鼓励安全在线行为的方法的有效性，并为在线公众提供一种工具，用于管理和控制他们自己的风险，同时最大限度地提高互联网的集体安全。
