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.
Asia’s diversity in culture, language, infrastructure, socio-economic conditions, and social norms creates distinctive challenges and opportunities for human-centered security and privacy research.
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:
Human-centered approaches to security and privacy in diverse, multicultural, and resource-constrained settings
Psychological, sociological, and economic dimensions of security and privacy
Cultural, communal, and contextual influences on trust, risk, and threat perception
Failures, trade-offs, and adaptations in real deployments
Methodological innovations for empirical studies in challenging environments
Cross-disciplinary work bridging technical systems with social inquiry
Localized data-driven human-in-the-loop system design to enable security, privacy and safety protections customized to Asian population
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.
