Second SHB Workshop Liveblogging (1)
I’m at SHB09, the Second Interdisciplinary Workshop on Security and Human Behavior, at MIT. This is a two-day gathering of computer security researchers, psychologists, behavioral economists, sociologists, philosophers, and others—all of whom are studying the human side of security—organized by Ross Anderson, Alessandro Acquisti, and myself.
Here’s the schedule. Last year’s link will give you a good idea what the event is about—be sure to read Ross’s summaries of the individual talks in the comments of his blog entry—and I’ll be posting talk summaries in subsequent posts this year, hopefully as the event progresses.
EDITED TO ADD (6/14): My liveblogging of the eight sessions: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Ross Anderson’s liveblogging is in the first eight comments of this blog post. Adam Shostack’s liveblogging: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Matt Blaze recorded audio.
EDITED TO ADD (6/28): Attendee John Adams comments on the workshop.

“the human side of security ”
I’ve heard about them humans and think they should be banned as they seem to cause all the security problems.
Remember folks – attack the symptom not the problem 🙂
