Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents the results of a trend-scouting study on the applicability of contemporary information privacy and information security research in future defence scenarios in a 25-year-horizon. The authors sketch the expected digital warfare and defence environment as a‘Battlefield of Things’ in which connected objects, connected soldiers, and automated and autonomous sensing and acting systems are core elements. Based on this scenario, the authors discuss current research in information security and information privacy and their relevance and applicability for the future scenario.

- This article presents the results of a trend scouting study on the applicability of contemporary information privacy and information security research in future defence scenarios in a 25-year-horizon. We sketch the expected digital warfare and defence environment as a “battlefield of things” where connected objects, connected soldiers and automated and autonomous sensing and acting systems are core elements. Based on this scenario, we discuss current research in information security and information privacy and their relevance and applicability for the future scenario.

I’m Not That Old Yet! The Elderly and Us in HCI and Assistive Technology

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Recent HCI research in information security and privacy focuses on the Elderly. It aims at the provision of inclu-sive, Elderly-friendly interfaces for security and data protection features. Much attention is put on care situa-tions where the image of the Elderly is that of sick or disabled persons not mastering contemporary infor-mation technology. That population is however a frac-tion of the group called the Elderly. In this position pa-per, we argue that the Elderly are a very diverse popu-lation. We discuss issues rising from researchers and software architects’ misconception of the Elderly as technology-illiterate and unable. We suggest a more nuanced approach that includes changing personal abil-ities over the course of life.

Privacy and Security Analysis : Assessing Risks and Harm to Patients
- 2022
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Disruptive technologies in the form of e-Health or electronic healthcare (the use of information technology in health) have the ability to provide positive implications to both patients and healthcare professionals. Recently, public health agencies deployed contact tracing apps with the aim of curbing the spread of COVID-19, by aiding manual contact tracing, and lifting restrictions. Despite this, their ubiquitous nature in the sector has opened doors to new threats in the area of information security and privacy, where these apps, for instance, contain security and privacy risks such as violation of the principle of least privilege, which when exploited can cause privacy harms to the user, for example, re-identification of users.In general, information security and privacy in the healthcare sector is essential due to the nature of the data they process, and the need to keep the patient safe. While this is so, the general security posture of the sector, which is poor due to its under-financing in IT security among other reasons such as the use of legacy systems, makes it vulnerable to cyber-attacks that end up with exfiltration of personal health data, among other data, for instance, relevant research data. Such data can be misused incurring privacy harm to patients that have been affected by the breach.This thesis follows an experimental approach to assess the privacy and security risks of m-Health apps, with the selected case study of these m-Health apps, that is, COVID-19 contact tracing apps. In addition, it also contributes with a theoretical approach to assessing impacts and consequences in the healthcare sector, including what harms patients could face in the event of a state-sponsored cyber-attack. In addition, the research aims at contributing to the field by proposing a sector-specific model that can be used to evaluate the impact on the privacy of patients affected by a data breach.
