# A6: Project Related Work **Deadline:** Tuesday, October 25, 2022 @ 11:59 pm PT Your assignment this week is comprised of three parts: (1) individually read and review two research papers about authentication (R2) and (2) coordinating with the other people in your project group, read and summarize three papers relating to your course project, and (3) working with your project group, write a related work section for your course project. ### Part 1: Authentication Readings Select two of the following papers to read and review: - R. Bhagavatula et al. [Biometric authentication on iphone and android: Usability, perceptions, and influences on adoption](https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4969&context=sis_research). USEC 2015. - A. De Luca et al. [I Feel Like I’m Taking Selfies All Day! Towards Understanding Biometric Authentication on Smartphones](https://www.medien.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pubdb/publications/pub/deluca2015chi/deluca2015chi.pdf). CHI 2015. - K. Reese et al. [A Usability Study of Five Two-Factor Authentication Methods](https://www.usenix.org/system/files/soups2019-reese.pdf). SOUPS 2019. - J. Colnago et al. [“It’s not actually that horrible”: Exploring Adoption of Two- Factor Authentication at a University](https://doi.org/10.1145/3173574.3174030). CHI 2018. - S. Mare et al. [A Study of Authentication in Daily Life](https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/soups2016/soups2016-paper-mare.pdf). SOUPS 2016. For each paper you select, you should write a short (1-page) review containing the following information: 1. Which paper you read and a 1-2 sentence summary of the paper. 2. A more in-depth outline of the main points of the paper, including the type of study conducted, data collected, analysis methodology used, and conclusions drawn. 3. Any limitations you see of this paper. 4. Possible extensions or follow-up projects relating to this work. 5. Your opinion of the paper, primarily, the quality of the ideas and its potential impact. Prior to reading your selected papers, I strongly recommend checking out [this advice](https://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~michaelm/postscripts/ReadPaper.pdf) on how to read a research paper. **What to submit** A pdf entitled `r2.pdf` containing your two reviews to assignment R2: Authentication Readings ### Part 2: Paper Summaries Coordinating with your project teammates, discuss potentially related work for your course project and identify at least 3 research papers (research conference or journal papers, not news or magazine articles) for each member of your team that are related to your class project (if you have 4 people on your team you must find at least 12 different papers). For this homework, each of you *must pick different papers from the other people in your group*. For each paper you selected, write a one-paragraph summary of the paper plus a one-sentence description about the similarities and differences between the study described in that paper and the study you plan to do for your course project. Good ways to find papers include: - Looking at the related readings for your project in [A1](A1.html) - Looking through papers published in the most recent version (or the last few years of) a conference that publishes papers in usable security and privacy. Good conferences to check include [SOUPS](https://www.usenix.org/conference/soups2022/technical-sessions), [PETS](https://petsymposium.org/2022/program.php), and [USENIX Security](https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity22/technical-sessions). The other two top security and privacy conferences and the top HCI conference also sometimes publish high-qualtity work in this space, but fewer of the papers they publish relate directly to the intersection of usability and security/privacy: [Oakland](https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2022/program.html), [CCS](https://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2022/program/accepted-papers.html), and [CHI](https://programs.sigchi.org/chi/2022/program/2-may). - Once you have found at least one paper: the papers discussed in that paper's related work section - Once you have found at least one paper: later papers that cite that paper. You can find these by searching for the paper on [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com) and then clicking on the "cited by" link under that paper. **What to submit** See Part 4. ### Part 3: Related Work Once you have each individually completed Part 2, work with your group to turn your summaries into a related work section for your final paper. Note that a related should not simply summarize each paper sequentially. Instead, you should connect the papers to describe what is known about the area. You should particularly note how your project differs from or builds upon this prior work. I'd recommend taking a close look at the related work sections of the papers you read to see examples of what this can look like. **What to submit** See Part 4. ### Part 4: Feedback Answer the following questions: 1. How long did you spend on this assignment? 2. Any comments or feedback? Things you found interesting? Things you found challenging? Things you found boring? **What to submit** As a group, submit a single file named `related.pdf` to assignment A6 that contains (1) your related work section (Part 3), (2) each of your individual paper summaries (Part 2), and (2) your answers to the feedback questions (you may answer these individually or as a group).
