How Geopolitical Change Affects Computer Security and Privacy for Vulnerable Populations
Offered By: USENIX Enigma Conference via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the critical relationship between geopolitical change and increased vulnerability in computer security and privacy through this 20-minute conference talk from USENIX Enigma 2023. Delve into Lucy Simko's research on four populations experiencing significant change: refugees in the United States, Sudanese activists during the 2018-2019 revolution, individuals affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, and those impacted by hurricanes in the mainland US. Examine three key themes: how change alters threat models and technical needs, shifts in security and privacy prioritization during crises, and the exacerbation of systemic inequalities when technology design misaligns with marginalized populations' needs. Gain insights on designing for change by centering the needs of affected and marginalized groups to reduce overall vulnerability in computer security and privacy.
