Cyber-security research ethics dialogue & strategy workshop

The inaugural Cyber-security Research Ethics Dialogue & Strategy Workshop was held on May 23, 2013, in conjunction with the IEEE Security Privacy Symposium in San Francisco, California. CREDS embraced the theme of "ethics-by-design" in the context of cyber security research, and aimed to: Educate participants about underlying ethics principles and applications; Discuss ethical frameworks and how they are applied across the various stakeholders and respective communities who are involved; Impart recommendations about how ethical frameworks can be used to inform policymakers in evaluating the ethical underpinning of critical policy decisions; Explore cyber security research ethics techniques, tools, standards and practices so researchers can apply ethical principles within their research methodologies; and Discuss specific case vignettes and explore the ethical implications of common research acts and omissions.
