About SPAIC (pronounced spice)

The goal of this workshop is to bring together a community of researchers, designers and practitioners working across security, privacy, human-computer interaction, the social sciences and economics to foster collaboration and open new research avenues to collectively shape more inclusive human-centered security and privacy research in Asia. The workshop intentionally keeps its topics of interest broad and interdisciplinary, encouraging submissions representing a wide range of perspectives, methods, and contexts that define the region's digital landscape.

This workshop aims to highlight these distinctive conditions, while fostering interdisciplinary dialogue on how to design security mechanisms that are grounded in the lived user experience. We welcome submissions from scholars and practitioners in usable security, privacy, human–computer interaction, social sciences, design, public policy, and related fields, especially those working on problems that involve:

By grounding security and privacy research in the lived realities of Asian digital societies, this workshop aims to enrich discussions and foster a research agenda that directly addresses the region’s needs.
