Master - Lab - 10 years of No one can hack my mind: Replication/Extension Study

10 years ago, the original publication by Ion, Reeder and Consolvo (published 2015) [1] compared the self-reported security behavior of experts and non-experts, and examined security advice. A replication by Busse, Schäfer and Smith from 2019 [2] compared the advice given in the first study to the ones four years later, and specifically focused on a question phrasing in the first study, regarding the measurement of advice quality (good vs. effective vs. realistic). Since then multiple iterations of this study have been conducted with Bachelor's (since 2021) and Master's (before 2021) students in the Usable Security and Privacy course at the university of Bonn. A prior lab has presented an overview of the different iterations, and re-analyzed data from 2022 [3].

Notes: 

Multiple people can take part in this lab, and each person would focus on one of the aforementioned aspects: expert interviews, end user survey  or data analys. The topic could also work as a thesis. Please state in your exposé which aspect you are interested in!

For this work to be submitted to a conference, your own work in this lab (collected data + analysis) needs to be handed in at an early deadline, e.g. mid-January at the latest. The fully written out report can be handed in later at the usual times.
