Regulator, Regulator! - Security Research That Shapes Public Policy

Abstract: Like many research communities, security researchers often focus inward, aiming to advance the state of the art in technology. However, the academic field's shift toward helping a broader swath of society is more recent. Examples of this shift include the surge in user studies aimed directly at assisting studied groups, rather than simply examining them, as well as research focused on making security technologies more accessible.

These are valuable additions to our work. In this talk, however, we'll explore a different approach: What would security research look like if our goal were to shape public policy & help society at large?

I will present several pieces of work from across my career, spanning different areas-cryptography, user studies, & systems research-that demonstrate that regardless of your sub-discipline, producing research that shapes policy is not only possible, but impactful.
