Designing improved privacy and security interfaces

可用的隐私和安全，即将人机交互(HCI)方法应用于隐私和安全应用，是一个重要的研究领域，因为用户错误可能代价高昂，例如当导致恶意软件安装或无意泄露个人信息时。如果终端用户不了解其行为中的安全风险以及如何配置旨在保护他们的安全工具，技术安全进步就不会取得成功。此外，最终用户安全对组织安全的影响越来越大，因为组织的安全边界必须扩大到包括移动设备，员工通常出于个人和业务目的使用移动设备。

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.
