2. Neither Access nor Control: A Longitudinal Investigation of the Efficacy of User Access-Control Solutions on Smartphones / Masoud Mehrabi Koushki ; Yue Huang ; Julia Rubin ; Konstantin Beznosov [LERSSE-RefConfPaper-2022-004]
The incumbent all-or-nothing model of access control on smartphones has been known to dissatisfy users, due to high overhead (both cognitive and physical) and lack of device-sharing support. [...]

4. Contextualizing Privacy Decisions for Better Prediction (and Protection) / Primal Wijesekera ; Joel Reardon ; Irwin Reyes ; Lynn Tsai ; et al [LERSSE-RefConfPaper-2018-001]
Modern mobile operating systems implement an ask-on-first-use policy to regulate applications’ access to private user data: the user is prompted to allow or deny access to a sensitive resource the first time an app attempts to use it. [...]

9. Authorization Recycling in Hierarchical RBAC Systems / Qiang Wei ; Jason Crampton ; Konstantin Beznosov ; Matei Ripeanu [LERSSE-RefJnlPaper-2009-014]
As distributed applications increase in size and complexity, traditional authorization architectures based on a dedicated authorization server become increasingly fragile because this decision point represents a single point of failure and a performance bottleneck. [...]
