Section Description

Usable Security and Privacy sits at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and traditional Security and Privacy (S&P). Usable S&P research asks questions like: Why aren?t more people taking advantage of this awesome, secure system we?ve implemented? What are people actually concerned about? How can we create technologies that address *their* concerns? And/or how can we get people to be concerned about the S&P problems we think are important (and behave accordingly)? In short ? what needs to happen in order to reduce and/or mitigate real-world S&P risks in practice? The course will assume only a basic prior understanding of S&P and HCI; however, students whose primary research interests are in these areas are especially encouraged to enroll. Please contact the instructor if you have questions regarding the material or concerns about whether your background is suitable for the course.
