0550008SGER: A Socio-Technical Approach to Internet SecurityNancy G. LevesonTechnical security measures are often breached through social means, but little research has tackled the problem of system security in the context of the entire socio-technical system, with the interactions between the social and technical parts integrated into one model. Similar problems exist in the field of system safety, but recently a new accident model has been devised that uses a systems-theoretic approach to understand accident causation. Systems theory allows complex relationships between events and the system as a whole to be taken into account, so this new model permits an accident to be considered not simply as arising from a chain of individual component failures, but from the interactions among system components, including those that have not failed.This exploratory research will examine how this new approach to safety can be applied to Internet security, using worms as a first example. The long-term goal is to create a general model of trustworthiness that can incorporate both safety and security, along with system modeling tools and analysis methods that can be used to create more trustworthy socio-technical systems. This research provides a unique opportunity to link two research disciplines, safety and security, that have many commonalities but, up to now, relatively little communication or interaction.

0550008SGER：互联网安全的社会技术方法Leveson技术安全措施经常通过社会手段被破坏，但很少有研究在整个社会技术系统的背景下解决系统安全问题，将社会和技术部分之间的相互作用集成到一个模型中。 类似的问题也存在于系统安全领域，但最近已经设计出一种新的事故模型，该模型使用系统理论方法来理解事故原因。 系统理论允许将事件和系统之间的复杂关系作为一个整体来考虑，因此这种新的模型允许将事故不仅仅考虑为单个组件故障链引起的，而是考虑为系统组件之间的相互作用，包括那些没有故障的组件。以蠕虫为例。 长期目标是创建一个通用的可信度模型，该模型可以将安全性和安全性结合起来，沿着系统建模工具和分析方法，可用于创建更值得信赖的社会技术系统。 这项研究提供了一个独特的机会，连接两个研究学科，安全和保障，有许多共同点，但到目前为止，相对较少的沟通或互动。
