New Directions in Usable Security

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Much of life is now online, and new challenges have arisen involving security and privacy. In particular, the human factor has become increasingly important with the increase in the number of users, and the scale and diversity of usage. The field of "usable security" initially emerged to address making security software easier to use. This continues to be relevant, but the field now needs to address a wider range of complex issues. For example, mobile devices and cloud computing involve new and ever-changing contexts of use, new populations now rely on computing infrastructure, and organizations must now ensure security to protect their business interests and those of their users. The proposed research program will develop and explore a framework for practical solutions across the spectrum of human factors challenges to computer security.
