The fourth Workshop on Security and Human Behavior (SHB) brings together computer scientists, security engineers, economists, psychologists, and other scholars interested in understanding security and human behavior. The Workshop's goal is to discuss, in an informal and interdisciplinary setting, issues where security, psychological, and behavioral sciences interact. The scope is broad: topics we covered in the past include the misperception of risk, security usability, deception, security and privacy decision making, and so forth.

The Workshop does not have a formal paper submission process. Participation in the Workshop is by invitation. Everybody who attends also participates in the discussion. Invited scholars do not need to prepare a new manuscript for the Workshop; rather, they are encouraged to present their current (or their favorite, or their most representative) research, which - given the eclectic and engaging nature of the group - usually stimulates interesting discussions, and has frequently generated new joint research projects.

For more information, please see the preliminary program and the list of participants.

We hope you will enjoy SHB 2011.

Alessandro Acquisti, Ross Anderson, and Bruce Schneier
