ABSTRACT
I introduce some ideas about policy and governance in sociotechnical systems, approaching these topics from a normative standpoint. I propose that the normative concepts can provide the elements of a new potential foundations for security. I describe how we can characterize a variety of security-relevant behaviors in normative terms touching upon the challenges of accountability and how accountability differs from, yet relates to, mechanisms for monitoring and sanctioning

ABSTRACT
The project on the System Science of SecUrity and REsilience for cyber-physical systems (SURE) will develop foundations and tools for designing, building, and assuring cyber-physical systems (CPS) that can maintain essential system properties in the presence of adversaries. The technology base of SURE will provide CPS designers and operators with models, methods, and tools that can be integrated with an end-to-end model-based design flow and tool chain.

Abstract: Much of the data researchers usually collect about users' privacy and security behavior comes from short-term studies and focuses on specific, narrow activities. We present a design architecture and deployment of the Security Behavior Observatory (SBO), a client-server infrastructure designed to collect a wide array of data on user and computer security- and privacy-related behavior from a panel of hundreds of participants over several years. The SBO infrastructure had to be carefully designed to fulfill several requirements.
