Goal:

Evaluating and modelling the user behaviour with respect to security and privacy related IT-systems

Approach:

This research group aims to evaluate and model user behaviour when using security and privacy related IT-systems. This is achieved by designing experiments to evaluate the behaviour, analyzing influencing factors and modelling the user behaviour and the influencing factors.

Topics:

• User behaviour modelling of influencing factors when using security systems
• Evaluation and modelling of user behaviour when performing media/data sharing
• Experiment design to evaluate user behaviour towards security and privacy related systems
• Biometric authentication methods
