项目摘要
The security offered by a system can be dramatically influenced by its user's behaviour. This effect has been observed across many areas of computer security such as password systems in which users choose weak passwords, application security warnings that users have learnt to ignore, and software development environments in which developers might write insecure code. In these and many other applications, the cognitive effort required for users to understand security considerations is non-trivial; thus, it is unlikely that many users will invest the required time and effort. Unfortunately, many security practitioners expect that users are aware of security considerations and if not, that users will invest enough cognitive effort to learn and take action accordingly. These problematic expectations motivate my research program, which aims to help people achieve stronger security by creating software tools that are usable and reduce their cognitive burden (i.e., cognitive aids). The objective of my research program is to create new solutions and cognitive aids for users to achieve stronger security in different environments (e.g., web, mobile, and critical systems such as smart grids). My present foci are the areas of user authentication and secure software development. For user authentication, my focus is novel password systems and creation strategies that aim to reduce the cognitive burden of selecting secure and memorable passwords. Examples include interactive password guidance systems for helping users select secure and memorable text passwords, and novel password systems that aim to empower the natural strengths of human memory (by using rich semantic or visual cues such as stories, videos, and digital maps). To tackle security problems in software, my research aims to take a proactive approach by preventing security weaknesses during software development. The cognitive burden currently placed on developers is high as they are tasked with creating functional, high-performance code in a timely manner; security considerations further increase this burden. My research proposes easy-to-use software tools, which require little training, to help developers easily enhance the security of their code.
系统提供的安全性会受到其用户行为的极大影响。在计算机安全的许多领域都观察到了这种影响,例如用户选择弱密码的密码系统、用户已学会忽略的应用程序安全警告,以及开发人员可能编写不安全代码的软件开发环境。在这些和许多其他应用程序中,用户理解安全注意事项所需的认知工作不是微不足道的;因此,许多用户不太可能投入所需的时间和精力。不幸的是,许多安全从业者希望用户意识到安全考虑因素,如果没有,用户将投入足够的认知努力来学习并采取相应的行动。这些有问题的期望激励了我的研究计划,该计划旨在通过创建可用的软件工具来帮助人们实现更强的安全性,并减少他们的认知负担(即认知辅助工具)。我的研究计划的目标是为用户创建新的解决方案和认知辅助工具,以在不同的环境(例如,网络、移动和智能电网等关键系统)中实现更强的安全性。我目前的重点是用户身份验证和安全软件开发领域。对于用户身份验证,我的重点是新的密码系统和创建策略,旨在减少选择安全和易记的密码的认知负担。例如,用于帮助用户选择安全和难忘的文本密码的交互式密码指导系统,以及旨在增强人类记忆的自然优势的新型密码系统(通过使用丰富的语义或视觉线索,如故事、视频和数字地图)。为了解决软件中的安全问题,我的研究旨在采取主动的方法,防止软件开发过程中的安全漏洞。当前给开发人员带来的认知负担很高,因为他们的任务是及时创建功能强大的高性能代码;安全方面的考虑进一步增加了这一负担。我的研究提出了简单易用的软件工具,这些工具几乎不需要培训,可以帮助开发人员轻松地增强代码的安全性。
