IACAP
Interdisciplinary Aspects of Cybersecurity And Privacy
Cybersecurity and Privacy measures must be situated in a real use-case that sees human users approach a measure and experience it or, more simply, just use it. Here comes a new breed of views of Cybersecurity and Privacy measures that are pivoted on the users, at least featuring the social, economic, biologic and ethical views. These bear a huge potential to unveil and address niceties that could not be spot otherwise, such as the learnability of a measure, the coexistence with a flawed, deployed version, of the measure, the computation over and protection of biological data and, last but not least, the assistance of ethics and law to counter real-world breaches. There is clear international research momentum around these views, and a few members of the CINI Cybersecurity Laboratory are active researchers in related areas. Here comes the need to organise and cordinate their effort through the definition and formation of a Working Group on the Interdisciplinary Aspects of Cybersecurity and Privacy (IACAP). This Working Group comes with a clear motivation, a well defined statement and 5 Core Members geographically distributed in Italy and bringing heterogeneous backgrounds and skills.
