Security and Privacy Product Inclusion
This work addresses security and privacy challenges for diverse user groups, particularly low-income demographics, but is incremental in applying existing threat modeling concepts to inclusion contexts.
The paper tackles the problem of ensuring security and privacy for users from diverse demographic backgrounds by proposing a threat modeling approach to identify risks and countermeasures, presenting results from a global user experience survey to highlight the need for more inclusive product design.
In this paper, we explore the challenges of ensuring security and privacy for users from diverse demographic backgrounds. We propose a threat modeling approach to identify potential risks and countermeasures for product inclusion in security and privacy. We discuss various factors that can affect a user's ability to achieve a high level of security and privacy, including low-income demographics, poor connectivity, shared device usage, ML fairness, etc. We present results from a global security and privacy user experience survey and discuss the implications for product developers. Our work highlights the need for a more inclusive approach to security and privacy and provides a framework for researchers and practitioners to consider when designing products and services for a diverse range of users.
