Ethics in computer security research
As part of the Financial Cryptography and Data Security Conference to be held in January 21010 in Tenerife, there will be a workshop on ethics in computer security research. This is an important topic since conducting ecologically valid research is often at odds with adhering to ethical principles. In particular, security research can sometimes involve having people taking risks, with their systems and personal information, and/or involve the use of deception, where people may not be informed of the true purpose of a study. This should be an interesting workshop.
Computer security often leads to discovering interesting new problems and challenges. The challenge still remains to follow a path acceptable for Institutional Review Boards at academic institutions, as well as compatible with ethical guidelines for professional societies or government institutions. However, no exact guidelines exist for computer security research yet. This workshop will bring together computer security researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and legal experts.
