Subject: [Cryptography-dev] OSS Security Study
Message-ID: <002701d9f83e$a8941c80$f9bc5580$@sec.uni-hannover.de>

Hello,

 

My name is Harjot, and I'm part of a group of researchers at Leibniz University Hannover <https://teamusec.de/> , Tufts Security and Privacy Lab <https://tsp.cs.tufts.edu/> , and CISPA Helmholtz-Center for Information Security <https://teamusec.de/>  researching security in open source projects. I am reaching out to see if someone from your team would be willing to participate in an interview for our study, Security Considerations in Open-Source Software <https://tsp.cs.tufts.edu/oss-sec> , given you are a major contributor to OSS. Through this research, we aim to find challenges OSS developers face when thinking about and communicating security threats to others. We hope this will make security easier and more efficient for the entire OSS development community.

 

We are looking for OSS contributors who would be willing to join us for 45-60 min interviews to talk about how they think about security threats and communicate that information to other developers and end users. If you know anyone from your team (or another OSS contributor) who might be interested in participating, please pass the message on to them. If you have any questions, please email us back, or feel free to check out the project website here <https://tsp.cs.tufts.edu/oss-sec> . 

Thank you for your time!

 

Best,

Harjot Kaur
