Description
This seminar is centered on the observation that human factors play an important role in the proper use of security and privacy solutions. We will look at the problem from the perspectives of security and privacy experts, as well as everyday users. Our goal will be to find ways of understanding of how users interact with security and privacy systems particularly in terms of the mental models that influence usage decisions and choices. Understanding the difficulties and challenges users face, and why these issues occur is important in preventing misuse, and/or subversive activities due either to error or ignorance.
The seminar is open to students who are interested in learning about usability and user-interface problems related to security and privacy. No prerequisites are required.
A project-based approach will be used in which we will study how to design and conduct usability studies to critically analyse user issues in security and privacy systems. Project work will be conducted on a pre-agreed topic in teams of two.
Details on projects will be provided on 11 April 2019.
Requirements
No prerequisites are required.
Literature
Relevant literature will be provided to you.
Examination
Evaluations towards the final grade, will be based on presentations of results (mid-point and final), as well as a technical report of 6-8 pages (3000-4000words) on the findings of the study. Mid-point presentations will be split into three (3) sessions, each with a pre-defined goal as outlined in the project descriptions. Grading will occur as follows.
| Grading Rubric | Grade % |
| Presentations (#1, #2, & #3) | 30% |
| Final Presentation | 20% |
| Technical Report | 50% |
