Hi All,
I am currently researching ideas for my masters in human computer systems
thesis. I am a mobile telecoms engineer by profession, but am interested in
HCI, tools that help maintain your security, secure communications, and privacy
concerns.
There have been some interesting threads here that have brought up some
interesting questions for me:
∙ The thread discussing the usability of tools, such as cryptocat. How
it was (originally) easy to use but may not have been as secure as possible.
(NB: This is not a jab/poke at anybodies work, or an excuse to bring up any of
the previous discussions about Cryptocat)
∙ The perception of tools which are easy to use but may not be secure,
eg. Viber, whereas other tools are seen as secure,
∙ There are no shortcuts to being secure.
I am developing some ideas at the moment, which are mainly around mobile,
privacy, security, encryption tools, people's use of these tools (and why some
people don't use them), how to present information such as possible
interference with Internet users traffic.
I would be very interested to hear from anyone (on or off-list) who has any
suggestions, "I'd love to know XYZ" questions, or projects that are currently
on-going that may benefit from a MSc level research project into the
intersecting topics mentioned above. I am open to discussing any ideas, so
please let me know if you have an idea.
thanks in advance,
Bernard
