Designing improved privacy and security interfaces

可用的隐私和安全，即人机交互（HCI）方法在隐私和安全应用中的应用，是一个重要的研究领域，因为用户错误可能代价高昂，例如导致恶意软件安装或无意中泄露个人信息。如果最终用户不了解其行为中的安全风险以及如何配置旨在保护这些风险的安全工具，技术安全进步将不会成功。此外，终端用户安全性对组织安全性的影响越来越大，因为组织的安全边界必须扩展到包括移动设备，这些设备通常由员工用于个人和业务目的。

Usable privacy and security, that is the application of human-computer interaction (HCI) methods to privacy and security applications, is an important research area as user errors can be costly, such as when resulting in malware installation or unintentional disclosure of personal information. Technical security advances will not succeed if end users do not understand the security risks in their behaviours and how to configure the security tools designed to protect them. Furthermore, end user security has increasingly impacted organizational security as the security perimeter of organizations has had to expand to include mobile devices, which are often used by employees for personal as well as business purposes.
