This course will examine how to design for security and privacy from a user-centered perspective by combining insights from computer systems and human-computer interaction (HCI). The student will learn about core security and privacy technologies, as well as HCI techniques for conducting robust user studies. The course covers topics including usable authentication, user-centered web security, anonymity software, privacy notices, security warnings, and data- driven privacy tools in domains ranging from social media to the Internet of Things.
