Usable Cybersecurity

Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) technology is becoming more pervasive in the home environment. These technologies are increasingly used by non-technical users who have little understanding of the technologies or awareness of the security and privacy implications of use. 

Current/recent projects:

• Smart home end user study – understand users’ security and privacy beliefs, perceptions, expectations, and behaviors regarding smart home devices and how security and privacy considerations may impact device usage
• Human Factors in Smart Home Technologies Workshop - addressed human considerations for smart home devices, including usability, user perceptions, and end-user privacy and security considerations.
