10年网络安全用户研究中统计报告的保真度

Fidelity of Statistical Reporting in 10 Years of Cyber Security User Studies

Thomas Groß

摘要:

安全的社会技术方面的研究往往依赖于用户研究和统计推断调查的关系,使他们的情况。因此,它们使从业者和科学家都能判断所进行的研究的有效性和可靠性。为了确定这种能力,我们调查了安全用户研究的报告保真度。基于对2006- 2016年10年间选定场所的$114$用户网络安全研究的系统性文献综述,我们使用\textsf{R}包\textsf{statcheck}评估了$1775$统计推断报告的保真度。我们进行了系统的分类不完整的报告,报告不一致和决策错误,导致多项逻辑回归(MLR)的影响,出版地点/年,以及比较兼容的心理学领域。我们发现,一半的网络安全用户研究报告了不完整的结果,与心理学领域的可比结果截然不同。随着时间的推移,我们对分析结果的MLR产生了不完整测试的可能性略有增加,而SOUPS产生了比其他场所更高的正确报告统计数据的可能性。在这项研究中,我们提供了第一个完全定量分析的国家发挥的社会技术研究安全。在强调不完整报告的影响和普遍性的同时,我们还就如何应对这种情况提供了精细的诊断和建议。

英文摘要:

Studies in socio-technical aspects of security often rely on user studies and statistical inferences on investigated relations to make their case. They, thereby, enable practitioners and scientists alike to judge on the validity and reliability of the research undertaken. To ascertain this capacity, we investigated the reporting fidelity of security user studies. Based on a systematic literature review of $114$ user studies in cyber security from selected venues in the 10 years 2006--2016, we evaluated fidelity of the reporting of $1775$ statistical inferences using the \textsf{R} package \textsf{statcheck}. We conducted a systematic classification of incomplete reporting, reporting inconsistencies and decision errors, leading to multinomial logistic regression (MLR) on the impact of publication venue/year as well as a comparison to a compatible field of psychology. We found that half the cyber security user studies considered reported incomplete results, in stark difference to comparable results in a field of psychology. Our MLR on analysis outcomes yielded a slight increase of likelihood of incomplete tests over time, while SOUPS yielded a few percent greater likelihood to report statistics correctly than other venues. In this study, we offer the first fully quantitative analysis of the state-of-play of socio-technical studies in security. While we highlight the impact and prevalence of incomplete reporting, we also offer fine-grained diagnostics and recommendations on how to respond to the situation.
