• Title: Panel: Humans and Technology for Inclusive Privacy and Security
• Authors: Sanchari Das and Robert S. Gutzwiller and Rod D. Roscoe and Prashanth Rajivan and Yang Wang and L. Jean Camp and Roberto Hoyle
• Abstract summary: Separate issues arise between generic guidance (i.e., protect all user data from malicious threats) and the approach of privacy. The panel will focus on potentially vulnerable populations, such as older adults, teens, persons with disabilities, and others who are not typically emphasized in general security and privacy concerns.

• Abstract: Computer security and user privacy are critical issues and concerns in the digital era due to both increasing users and threats to their data. Separate issues arise between generic cybersecurity guidance (i.e., protect all user data from malicious threats) and the individualistic approach of privacy (i.e., specific to users and dependent on user needs and risk perceptions). Research has shown that several security- and privacy-focused vulnerabilities are technological (e.g., software bugs (Streiff, Kenny, Das, Leeth, & Camp, 2018), insecure authentication (Das, Wang, Tingle, & Camp, 2019)), or behavioral (e.g., sharing passwords (Das, Dingman, & Camp, 2018); and compliance (Das, Dev, & Srinivasan, 2018) (Dev, Das, Rashidi, & Camp, 2019)). This panel proposal addresses a third category of sociotechnical vulnerabilities that can and sometimes do arise from non-inclusive design of security and privacy. In this panel, we will address users' needs and desires for privacy. The panel will engage in in-depth discussions about value-sensitive design while focusing on potentially vulnerable populations, such as older adults, teens, persons with disabilities, and others who are not typically emphasized in general security and privacy concerns. Human factors have a stake in and ability to facilitate improvements in these areas.

  We conduct a large-scale analysis of over 2.5M user posts from the r/ChatGPT Reddit community to understand users' security and privacy concerns. We find that users are concerned about each stage of the data lifecycle (i.e., collection, usage, and retention) We provide recommendations for users, platforms, enterprises, and policymakers to enhance transparency, improve data controls, and increase user trust and adoption.

  Analyzing privacy threats in software products is an essential part of software development to ensure systems are privacy-respecting. We propose to use four conceptual layers (feature, ecosystem, business context, and environment) to capture this privacy complexity. These layers can be used as a frame to structure and specify the privacy analysis support in a more tangible and actionable way.
