Her early contributions in the interdisciplines of economics of security, user-centered security, risk communication, and online trust underlie her applied research in the domains of IoT, authentication, secure networking, ecrime, public policy, ethics in computer science, and a few works on applied cryptography.
I am interested in intersections in the challenges that have risen in the technical and human domians: psychology and security, economics and security, and security and privacy.
My research core interest is human-centered security and privacy. Security and privacy are the primary sources of online risk. My interest spans domains from small embedded home-based computing to SDN; from helping an elder avoid fraud to an activist avoid surveillance through malicious route manipulation. The core of my interest is the interaction of the human and the technical, empowering people by building security and privacy into the information substrate.
Her research focus is computing risk: identification, mitigation, and communication of risks to security & privacy. Her research can be classified as research insecure networking, Human-computer Interaction and usability; or under ICT policy.
Her research focuses on the intersection of human and technical trust, leveraging economic models and human-centered design to create safe, secure systems.
