Also, great to see several UVA folks at the conference including:
- Sam Havron (BSCS 2017, now a PhD student at Cornell) presented a paper on the work he and his colleagues have done on computer security for victims of intimate partner violence.

-
Serge Egelman (BSCS 2004) was an author on the paper 50 Ways to Leak Your Data: An Exploration of Apps’ Circumvention of the Android Permissions System (which was recognized by a Distinguished Paper Award). His paper in SOUPS on Privacy and Security Threat Models and Mitigation Strategies of Older Adults was highlighted in Alex Stamos’ excellent talk.
-
Yuan Tian (UVA professor) presented her work on Chinese password guessability (since the student author who was planning to present was unfortunately unable to obtain a visa in time). Chinese passwords are different from those of English speakers in many interesting ways, but everyone agrees that
123456
is a great password.
