Research Group

Fahl

In our group we study the intersection of computer security and privacy with human factors. We focus on investigating end users, operators, developers, and designers of computer systems and their interdependencies with computer security and privacy mechanisms. The research involves large-scale analyses of the Internet and software repositories to understand the huge challenges humans face when interacting with computer security and privacy mechanisms.
