CyLab Usable Security and Privacy (CUSP)

CyLab Usable Security and Privacy (CUSP) is a research group at Carnegie Mellon University focused on designing security and privacy tools that are easy for people to understand and use effectively. They study how users interact with technology, identify common challenges, and develop solutions that balance strong protection with user-friendliness. The goal is to create security systems that people can comfortably adopt without sacrificing usability, thereby helping individuals and organizations better safeguard their digital information in everyday life.
