The human factor is critical to any successful computer security solution since users are very often the weakest link in such systems. This course will examine a variety of human behaviors ranging from micro to macro cybernetic levels that are relevant to making the best case for information security. It is delivered through lectures on relevant findings in different disciplines of human computer interaction, human factors engineering, cognitive science, and product design; studies of useful user and security modeling frameworks and tools; and term research projects to explore security oriented topics in human machine systems. Its goal is to improve security informatics through informed decisions by the knowledge of the good and bad human characters in computer and cyber security.
