“…The autonomy regime proposed is underpinned by a strong ethos of personal responsibility, which is in line with recent thinking about personal data portability, self-regulation of online experience, alternative methods of dispute resolution and, overall, much greater user control on their own data and experience (LaRose et al 2008). More responsibility may have positive behavioural effects.…”

The number of large research projects in the fields of identity, privacy and related topics has burgeoned in recent years. This is a development of great importance to academic scholarship but also to a wider range of audiences and 'users', including policy-makers and regulators, the information and communication technology industries, and the general public. New issues have been spotlighted as we move into what some call 'surveillance societies', along with a clearer sense of the problems created, and the advantages afforded, by the ability of governments and businesses to identify people and groups, monitor and track their behaviour ad movements, provide them with services at home, in the workplace, online, and in the streets, and enable them to engage in important transactions involving flows of information as well as money. New ways of mitigating adverse effects and enhancing the benefits have been explored, although we are only near the beginning of thinking through and acting on these issues, problems, and solutions. The 5-year FIDIS programme, of which this edited volume is the published product, is one of the most extensive of these research endeavours, and is amongst the most fruitful. The cast of individual and institutional characters, and the separate but linked 'deliverable' studies that have been involved, take some 75 pages to be described in this book: more than 61 studies, 43 researchers, and 24 organisations in 31 countries have been involved. This book is a magisterial condensation and integration of this multidisciplinary work, providing something of a long-lasting handbook and an anchor in this rapidly changing field. There are an Introduction and nine further chapters, as well as an Appendix that proposes a user-centric identity metasystem, and eight 'vignettes'-short futuristic scenarios involving the fictitious characters Frank and (the unfortunately-named-to British readers-Fanny) as they go through their everyday lives in a technologically saturated world. The chapters are each based on a number of 'deliverables' whose authors are fully acknowledged, and there are extensive references. Some chapters are better integrated than others, but all are at IDIS (2010) 3:599-604

“…Having the knowledge and confidence to be able to correctly enact protection measures, as well as seeing oneself as routinely following safe practices, is important for people to better protect themselves [40]. The results of the analysis suggest that certain combinations of sources of information influence coping self-efficacy and self-protection habit strength.…”

“…As each message was based on a different theory, emphasizing different aspects, their lengths differed. a) Risk: Communicating risk is potentially useful since risk has obvious threat connotations [32]. Overplaying the risks, however, can inhibit precautionary behaviour as people prefer to deny it, and do not engage in precautionary actions such as verifying [32], [69].…”

Abstract-There is increasing interest in verifiable Internet voting systems that enable voters to verify the integrity of their vote on the voting platform prior to casting it, and any interested party to verify the integrity of the election results. The ease with which a vote can be verified plays a key role. Empowering individual voters to act as interested yet objective verifiers increases the probability of fraud detection. Verifying constitutes additional effort, something humans resist unless the benefits are compelling enough. Thus, what is the best way to provide such motivation? We report on a survey, distributed to 123 respondents, in which we explore the effects of three types of motivating messages on voters' intention to verify a vote, using a smartphone app. The motivating messages were intended to increase the intention to verify a vote. Our findings have persuaded us that further research on the use of motivating messages in the context of verifiable voting is warranted.
