互联网安全和隐私问题通知研究的最佳实践

Best Practices for Notification Studies for Security and Privacy Issues on the Internet

Max Maass, Henning Pridöhl, Dominik Herrmann, Matthias Hollick

摘要:

研究人员通过单独通知他们在研究中发现的安全和隐私问题,帮助易受攻击和不合规的互联网服务运营商。为了提高这些努力的效率和效力,必须进行专门的通知研究。到目前为止,还没有关于进行此类通知研究的陷阱和最佳做法的全面文件,这限制了结果的有效性并妨碍了再现性。根据我们在此类研究中的经验和相关工作的指导,我们提出了一套指导方针和实用建议,包括初始数据汇集、发送通知、与接收者互动以及发布结果。我们注意到,未来的研究可以特别受益于关键过程的广泛规划和自动化,即,在发送第一个通知之前发生的活动。

英文摘要:

Researchers help operators of vulnerable and non-compliant internet services by individually notifying them about security and privacy issues uncovered in their research. To improve efficiency and effectiveness of such efforts, dedicated notification studies are imperative. As of today, there is no comprehensive documentation of pitfalls and best practices for conducting such notification studies, which limits validity of results and impedes reproducibility. Drawing on our experience with such studies and guidance from related work, we present a set of guidelines and practical recommendations, including initial data collection, sending of notifications, interacting with the recipients, and publishing the results. We note that future studies can especially benefit from extensive planning and automation of crucial processes, i.e., activities that take place well before the first notifications are sent.
