SOUPS 2011 Advances Vital Exploration of Usability and Its Role in Strengthening Privacy and Security
The seventh annual Symposium On Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS) was held in Pittsburgh, PA., July 20th thru July 23rd, 2011. SOUPS is an annual event that has evolved out of the work of the CyLab Usable Privacy and Security (CUPS) Lab. This year's SOUPS sessions included Security Warnings and Authentication to Privacy on Social Networks and Perceptions of Privacy and Security. It also included a day of tutorials and workshops, such as Usable Security Indicator Conventions and Experiment Design and Quantitative Methods for Usable Security Research.
The papers presented ranged from Using Data Type Based Security Alert Dialogs to Raise Online Security Awareness, presented by University of Munich, and Breaking Undercover: Exploiting Design Flaws and Nonuniform Human Behavior, presented by researchers from the National University of Science and Technology (Pakistan) and University of Split, (Croatia) to "I regretted the minute I pressed share": A Qualitative Study of Regrets on Facebook, presented by Carnegie Mellon University researchers, and Indirect Content Privacy Surveys: Measuring Privacy Without Asking About It, presented by Google researchers.
