how digitised identities connected to hidden homelessness impacts security and privacy risks, goals and practices

其目的是探讨：（1）有无家可归经历的人如何在网上自我定义他们的安全或隐私目标，以及他们使用什么做法来促进物理和数字空间的安全和隐私。这个问题将调查隐藏的无家可归如何塑造安全观念和/或改变人们如何管理自己的安全需求。例如，它可以考虑人们如何优先考虑离线/在线安全，目前正在应对在线安全挑战，以及在不安全的离线环境中使用什么策略来维护在线安全。这可以进一步研究促进离线安全的安全策略，例如是否使用技术来促进离线安全/物理安全。(2)隐藏的无家可归者的什么空间特征独特地影响安全和隐私需求。这个研究问题探讨了对问题1的回答，以了解与隐藏的无家可归者空间相关的空间因素如何直接影响一个人的在线安全能力。因此，这考虑了影响能力的因素，例如区域连通性、隐私、对技术/使用技术的空间的访问、对等体/网络。(3)地方当局和利益攸关方在多大程度上意识到这些需求并满足这些需求？这个问题在问题1和2之后，探讨当局和组织如何支持那些面临隐藏的无家可归者的在线安全需求。方法：本项目将分为两个探索性研究，以回答上述研究问题。研究问题1将通过使用同行领导的研究方法来探讨，采访有隐藏无家可归生活经历的人，以“打破研究人员和被研究者之间的区别”（Gaventa，1988年）。通过半结构化访谈，参与者将能够提供其安全体验的说明。在此之后，一个参与式研讨会将允许人们参与从匿名数据中定义主题，以便研究分析直接反映人们的经验和他们的价值。这种方法的目的是让参与者在如何在学术研究中代表他们的故事和经验方面有发言权。数据收集的第二部分将采用另一种定性方法，但将由与无家可归者打交道的专业人员进行。具体而言，本研究希望采访地方当局，以探讨他们如何意识到并应对隐藏无家可归者的具体数字安全需求。这些访谈将被转录，并将使用专题分析来分析数据。关于研究的新工程和/或物理科学内容，该项目研究人机交互，特别旨在专注于使网络安全可访问，因此可用。这涉及到了解什么安全需求是重要的人与“日常”的经验，是连接到物理不安全，如经济和空间。隐性无家可归将涉及财务/住房不稳定，以及潜在的心理健康/健康挑战和破碎的支持网络。这些因素影响到如何维护安全。因此，这项研究希望考虑如何使网络安全更容易为人们在不利的情况下管理技术。另一个目的是强调技术如何通过暴露于监视而使这一弱势群体更加不安全的伦理挑战。数字化支持意味着创建数字身份是访问的要求，而且往往是不可避免的。该项目希望探索人们对出于这些目的收集他们的数据的感受，如何管理这些数据以及与从高风险群体收集数据相关的伦理影响。

This aims to explore: (1) how people with lived experiences of homelessness self-define their security or privacy goals online and what practices they use to promote security and privacy across physical and digital spaces.This question will investigate how hidden homelessness shapes security perceptions and/or alters how people manage their own security needs. For instance it may consider how people prioritise offline/online security, are currently responding to online security challenges, and what strategies are used to maintain online security in an insecure offline environment. This may further look into security strategies that promote offline security such as whether technologies are used to promote offline security/physical safety. (2) What spatial characteristics of hidden homelessness uniquely impact security and privacy needs. This research question explores responses to question 1 to understand how spatial factors connected to hidden homeless spaces are directly impacting a persons capability for securing online. This therefore considers factors impacting capability such as area connectivity, privacy, access to technologies/space to use technologies, peers/network. (3) To what extent are local authorities and stakeholders aware of these needs and accommodating them? This question follows question 1 and 2 to explore how authorities and organisations are supporting those facing hidden homelessness with online security needs. Approach: This project will be split into two exploratory studies to answer the above research questions. Research question 1 will be explored by using a peer-led research methodology to interview people with lived experiences of hidden homelessness to "break down the distinction between the researchers and the researched" (Gaventa, 1988). Using semi-structured interviews, participants will be able to provide accounts of their security experiences. Following this, a participatory workshop will allow people to take part in defining themes from anonymised data themselves so the research analysis directly reflects peoples experiences and what they value. This methodology is designed so that participants have a say in how their stories and experiences are represented in academic research. The second part of data collection will take another qualitative approach but this will be conducted with professionals working with people who have experienced homelessness. Specifically this research hopes to interview local authorities to explore how they are aware of and responding to the specific digital security needs of people in circumstances of hidden homelessness. These interviews will be transcribed and thematic analysis will be used to analyse the data. Regarding the novel engineering and/or physical sciences content of the research, this project looks into human-computer interaction and specifically aims to focus on making cyber security accessible and therefore usable. This involves understanding what security needs are significant to people with 'everyday' experiences that are attached to physical insecurities such as economic and spatial. Hidden homelessness will involve financial/housing instability alongside potential mental health/health challenges and fractured support networks. These factors affect how security can be maintained. Therefore, this research hopes to consider how cyber-security can be made more accessible for people managing technology in adverse circumstances. Another aim is to highlight the ethical challenges with how technologies may be making this vulnerable group more insecure through exposure to surveillance. Digitised support means creating digital identities is a requirement of access and often unavoidable. This project hopes to explore how people feel about their data being collected for these purposes, how this data is managed and the ethical implications associated with collecting data from a high-risk group.
