Designing for security and privacy: Design lessons from human rights and civic technology
Session Type: Talk
Eriol has been working on human rights technology for over 10 years. When we think about how to design for privacy, security and known and unknown human rights, we start with a security and privacy focus to our human centred design, using methods and processes that think about what malicious people or governments could do with data, information and access to devices. Making sure all technology is safe for high risk people to use is critical to the future of private, secure and respectful design that doesn't rely on dark/deceptive design patterns and brings people into the full knowledge of what their software and hardware does. Eriol will talk about how they have worked with highly secure design research practices, how we design for journalists, human rights activists and civil society and how all designers can use methods to make their design more private, secure and resilient against malicious attacks.
