Research Hub 5: Human-Centered Security and Privacy


Many real-world security breaches exploit human behavior. Nevertheless, security and privacy in the digital world are often viewed as burdens by many users. Research Hub 5 aims to find security approaches that integrate seamlessly with human behavior. 

The hub studies security challenges across individuals, organizations, and societies, with a focus on regular users, experts, and at-risk populations. By emphasizing usability, digital resilience, and emerging threats such as AI-assisted development, this research aims to deliver inclusive, low-burden security solutions with real-world impact.
