• Abstract: E-payments are essential for transactional convenience in today's digital economy and are becoming increasingly important for older adults, emphasizing the need for enhanced security, privacy, and usability. To address this, we conducted a survey-based study with 400 older adults aged 65 and above to evaluate a high-fidelity prototype of an e-payment mobile application, which included features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and QR code-based recipient addition. Based on our findings, we developed a tailored \b{eta} version of the application to meet the specific needs of this demographic. Notably, approximately 91% of participants preferred traditional knowledge-based and single-mode authentication compared to expert-recommended MFA. We concluded by providing recommendations aimed at developing inclusive e-payment solutions that address the security, privacy, and usability requirements of older adults.

  38.5% of the websites deployed over 50 cookies per session, many of which were categorized as unnecessary or unclear in function. Our manual assessment uncovered critical gaps in standard security practices, including the absence of mandatory multi-factor authentication and breach notification protocols. Based on these findings, we recommend targeted improvements to privacy policies, enhanced transparency in cookie usage, and the implementation of stronger authentication protocols.

  rapid growth has also heightened concerns about the privacy of their health information. We evaluated 28 healthcare apps across multiple dimensions, including regulatory compliance, data handling practices, and privacy-focused usability. Our analysis revealed significant gaps in compliance with privacy standards to such, only 25% of apps explicitly state compliance with HIPAA, and only 18% mention. Surprisingly, 79% of these applications lack breach protocols, putting older adults at risk in the event of a data breach.

  We propose a new differential privacy paradigm called estimate-verify-release (EVR) EVR paradigm first estimates the privacy parameter of a mechanism, then verifies whether it meets this guarantee, and finally releases the query output. Our empirical evaluation shows the newly proposed EVR paradigm improves the utility-privacy tradeoff for privacy-preserving machine learning.
