Overview
- Traditional online security considers security problems of a technical nature separately from security problems of a social nature. This book addresses how to bridge this chasm
- Describes how to address several emerging socio-technical security risks, ranging from SIM-jacking and counterfeiting to political risks of crypto payments and attacks launched from malware-infected computers of trusted colleagues
- It is not possible to address today’s most pressing problems in security and privacy without recognizing the human aspect of the problem. However, this book makes the case that the best countermeasures are not based on increasing awareness, but rather, on technical countermeasures based on an understanding of the end user

About this book
Traditional security books focus on one of the following areas: cryptography, security protocols, or existing standards. They rarely consider the end user as part of the security equation, and when they do, it is in passing. This book considers the end user as the most important design consideration, and then shows how to build security and privacy technologies that are both secure and which offer privacy. This reduces the risk for social engineering and, in general, abuse.
Advanced-levelstudents interested in software engineering, security and HCI (Human Computer Interaction) will find this book useful as a study guide. Engineers and security practitioners concerned with abuse and fraud will also benefit from the methodologies and techniques in this book.
