> Many aspects of data security combine technical and human factors. If
> a highly secure system is unusable, users will move their data to less
> secure but more usable systems. Problems with usability are a major
> contributor to many high-profile security failures today.
> 
> However, usable security is not well-aligned with traditional
> usability for various reasons. Security is rarely the primary desired
> goal of the individual. In fact, security is often orthogonal and
> sometimes in opposition to the actual goal. Security information is
> about risk and threats: such communication is often unwelcome.
> Increasing unwelcome interaction is not a goal of usable design.
> Since individuals must trust their machines to implement their desired
> tasks, risk communication itself may undermine the value of the
> networked interaction. For the individual, discrete technical problems
> are all understood under the rubric of online security (e.g., privacy
> from third parties use of personally identifiable information,
> malware). A broader conception of both security and usability is
> therefore needed for usable security.
> 
> The Workshop on Usable Security invites submissions on all aspects of
> human factors and usability in the context of security and
> privacy. USEC '13 aims to bring together researchers already engaged
> in this interdisciplinary effort with other researchers in relevant
> areas, so we encourage economics, HCI, AI, theoretical computer
> science, cryptography, psychology and business studies etc.
> researchers and practitioners to submit original research in this
> area. We particularly encourage collaborative research from authors in
> multiple fields.
> 
> All accepted papers will be published in an LNCS volume (as part of
> the main FC '13 proceedings or collected in a subsidiary workshop
> proceedings). Submissions are limited to 15 pages including references
> for the main paper and a maximum of 18 pages (i.e., 3 pages of
> appendices). Authors are expected to submit anonymous versions of
> their papers for initial review, except where this would necessitate
> unduly undermining the paper (such as by omitting references to
> underlying work by the same author(s)). Referees will do their best to
> avoid identification of authors of anonymous papers during the review
> process.
> 
> Submission is managed via the EasyChair system:
