The special lecturer will be Dr. L. Jean Camp, director of the Security Informatics Program and professor of Informatics at the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University - Bloomington. The event will also include a panel discussion featuring Dr. Zeynep Tufekci, SILS assistant professor and blogger of the popular Web sitetechnosociology.org<http://technosociology.org/>, and Anne Klinefelter<http://www.law.unc.edu/faculty/directory/klinefelteranne/>, director of the UNC at Chapel Hill Law Library and associate professor of Law.

Abstract:
Economics of security identified the concept of incentive misalignment in security and privacy technologies. Incentive misalignment suggests that sometimes people do not care about privacy or security, and are right given the products being offered. Resolving this problem requires incentive-aligned design.

Risk communications suggest that people would invest and care about security, but are simply unaware of the risks. In this case, what is needed is effective risk communication. Security decisions follow the set of heuristics and incentive requirements documented in other risk domains; and design can recognize this.

Finally, traditional usability suggests that technical solution are sometimes unusable, defeating those who seek secure computing. This requires not only improved interaction design, but also an understanding that interaction requirements are part of the cost of security investment.

Dr. Camp argues that considering issues of caring, knowing and taking action are all appropriate goals of effective security design. Human and economic components must be treated in a comprehensive, theoretically-grounded manner. She proposes translucent security. Translucent security approaches users as individuals making complex risk decisions with limited budgets: including limited time, limited cognitive budgets, and  limited money. She will introduce the theoretical arguments for translucent security and enumerate the theories underlying the approach. Her analysis is grounded in basic observations of why some systems fail (e.g., lemons markets, lack of incentive, stop points). After briefly listing the principles, a few high-level overviews of past and current projects shows how these theories in principle are highly applicable in practice.
