Computing systems and services are an essential part of modern society and are deeply embedded in people’s daily lives. However, as practices and technologies for ensuring security and privacy of computing systems emerge and rapidly change, the needs of marginalized and vulnerable populations have been under-addressed, as have the consequences of their exclusion. This Frontiers-scale project seeks to fundamentally change how security and privacy in computing is approached, to make centering the needs of marginalized and vulnerable populations the norm. To do so, the team of researchers will create security and privacy design principles that mitigate harm and enhance the benefits of both current and future computing technologies. This work will be informed by direct collaboration with marginalized and vulnerable communities and by strong technical foundations and social science theories. This project will build and sustain a community of researchers to ensure that the needs of marginalized and vulnerable populations are centered in security and privacy over the long term. Such work will develop research methodologies and outcomes that inform design, education, and policy to impact both the scientific community and society at large.The project focuses on examining three major themes: assessing the security and privacy needs of marginalized and vulnerable populations, informing and co-creating solutions that intersect with current and emerging technologies, and systematizing and applying foundational design principles. The first area involves quantitative and qualitative human-centered research methods and direct community input to address the unique challenges and needs of different populations. The second area involves identifying how technology can be leveraged or reimagined to address these needs through methodologies that consider security and privacy goals for systems and data. The final area involves iteratively synthesizing lessons and experiences from the previous two areas to support integrating security, privacy, and safety needs of marginalized and vulnerable populations into future technology design and researcher efforts.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

计算系统和服务是现代社会的重要组成部分，并深深植根于人们的日常生活中。然而，随着确保计算系统安全和隐私的实践和技术的出现和快速变化，边缘化和弱势群体的需求已被忽视。这个前沿规模的项目旨在从根本上改变计算安全和隐私的方式，使边缘化和弱势群体的需求成为常态。创建减轻伤害的安全和隐私设计原则这项工作将通过与边缘化和弱势社区的直接合作以及强大的技术基础和社会科学理论来指导，以建立和维持一个研究人员社区，以确保满足需求。从长远来看，此类工作将重点关注安全和隐私问题，为设计、教育和政策提供信息，从而影响科学界和整个社会。该项目重点研究三个主要领域。主题：评估边缘化和弱势群体的安全和隐私需求，告知共同创建与当前和新兴技术相交叉的解决方案，并将基本设计原则系统化和应用。第一个领域涉及以人为本的定量和定性研究方法以及直接的社区投入，以解决不同人群的独特挑战和需求。确定如何利用或重新构想技术来通过考虑系统和数据的安全和隐私目标的方法来满足这些需求。最后一个领域涉及迭代综合前两个领域的经验教训，以支持集成安全、隐私和安全需求。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
