Human-centered Behavioral and Physiological Security
In NSPW '23: Proceedings of the 2023 Workshop on New Security Paradigms. December 26, 2023. Association for Computing Machinery, New York, NY, USA. (bib)

We propose a paradigm shift in human-centered security researc in which usersâ objective behavior and physiological states move into focus. This proposal is motivated by the fact that many per- sonal and wearable devices today come with capabilities that allow researchers to assess usersâ behavior and physiology in real-time. We expect substantial advances due to the ability to develop more targeted approaches to human-centered security in which solutions are targeted at individualsâ literacy, skills, and acontext. To this end, the main contribution of this work is a research space: we first pro- vide an overview of common human-centered attacks that could be better understood and addressed through our approach. Based on this overview, we then showcase how specific security habits can benefit from the knowledge of usersâ current state. Our work is complemented by a discussion of the implications and research directions enabled through this novel paradigm.},
