Specifically, the S\u0026amp;P operations are running inside the devices and are not apparent to end-users. For example, it is unclear to discern if a laptop webcam could be activated without turning on its associated LED indicator or if a smart speaker microphone could record the users\u0026rsquo; conversation unwittingly. Moreover, despite claims that end-users\u0026rsquo; data is not collected without their knowledge or consent, the users found evidence to the contrary. Owing to that, this creates a discrepancy between how S\u0026amp;P operations actually work and how end-users think they work. Due to this discrepancy, end-users have started losing their trust in using such sensor-enabled devices.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn my research, I aim to narrow the discrepancy by leveraging tangible and physical operations that allow end-users to physically perceive their S\u0026amp;P actions, which, in turn, helps improve trust in sensor-enabled devices. However, privacy concerns with different sensor-enabled devices need to be handled differently. As a metaphor, people could close their doors and perceptibly guarantee that no one can see inside their room. However, closing the door may not completely prevent a conversation sound from going outside the room as sound could propagate through.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn my thesis proposal, I present a series of case studies and demonstrate how to approach such challenges according to various sensing system types. First, I present Smart Webcam Cover (IMWUT 2021), an intelligent physical barrier for a laptop webcam, and discuss design components that establish trust in using the laptop webcam. Second, I showcase Power for Privacy (under review) and explain how to design a physical S\u0026amp;P operation to address privacy concerns with a smart speaker microphone that cannot be completely blocked by a physical barrier.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn my proposed work, I propose how to design a solution to address S\u0026amp;P concerns with passive RFID tags. Passive RFID information could be collected imperceptibly and passively by RFID transceivers without end-users\u0026rsquo; knowledge or consent. Unlike a laptop webcam and smart speaker microphone that belong to end-users, the RFID transceiver device does not belong to end-users and they cannot control the RFID transceiver. This uniquely situated sensing system needs to be addressed differently from the webcam and microphone setups. Therefore, I will discuss consideration factors to address the concerns against the passive RFID setup and evaluation plans to assess trust in the effectiveness of the proposed\u0026nbsp; S\u0026amp;P solution. These design implications will contribute to S\u0026amp;P solution designs to address privacy concerns with various sensor-enabled devices situated in a variety of contexts.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Physicalizing Security and Privacy against Privacy-Invasive Sensors in Everyday Environments"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2022-11-28 21:48:35","changed_gmt":"2022-11-28 21:48:35","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2022-12-02T09:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2022-12-02T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2022-12-02T11:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2022-12-02 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2022-12-02 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2022-12-02 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
