We live in a data economy. Nearly every product, service or process with which we interact collects and processes some data about us. This data goes on to feed machine learning algorithms designed to predict our tastes, our habits, our future behaviors, or future possible health ailments to name just a few of the many different ways in which our data is consumed. Along with this increasing dependence on personal data, we have seen the emergence of increasingly stringent regulations designed to keep organizations that collect and process our data accountable. Regulations such as GDPR and CCPA also come with steep penalties for organizations that fail to meet their requirements. These developments have in turn created unprecedented demand for professionals capable of operating at the intersection of law and technology and led to the emergence of Privacy Engineering as a highly desirable career and one for which there is a significant shortage today.

Honored to be receiving this test of time award along with my former PhD student Patrick Kelley - co-advised with Lorrie Cranor, and our other co-authors. We have continued to look at the usability of privacy settings and privacy interfaces in both iOS and Android ever since. It has been gratifying to see how a number of our results over the years have influenced developments in both platforms.
📢 We couldn’t hold back—here’s a sneak peek before tomorrow’s #USEC2025! 🏆 The Test of Time Award goes to Patrick Gage Kelley , Sunny C., Lorrie Cranor, Jaeyeon Jung , Norman Sadeh , and David Wetherall for their landmark work: 📄 A Conundrum of Permissions: Installing Applications on an Android Smartphone (USEC 2012). https://lnkd.in/dVXtS5YH This research has profoundly shaped how we think about app permissions, user privacy, and security usability. And that’s not all— Dr. Patrick Gage Kelley will be delivering the closing keynote! Dr. Kelley is the Head of Research Strategy for Trust & Safety Google where he focuses on how people understand their data, privacy, and safety online. His work spans user-friendly privacy displays, encryption, passwords, location-sharing, technology ethics, and designing for high-risk users. Most recently, he has been exploring how people perceive and understand AI. 🔗 Join us at USEC tomorrow (Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS)) as we celebrate research that stands the test of time and hear insights from Patrick’s keynote!
