== Project Description ==
A month(ish)-long study to provide the FX UX team with guidelines for designing for security and privacy.

=== Why do we want to do this project?===
* The Mozilla UX team, particularly the Firefox team wants to have a consistent, reasonable design stance on privacy and security that can be used as a guideline for addressing security and privacy requirements in our products.
* Because Security & Privacy reside in the realm of the super-technical or super-paranoid, and we want to make it more human and friendly (for the rest of us).

===What this project will deliver:===
* Baseline frameworks for designing for Security & Privacy in Firefox by evaluating current trends and existing (usability, user, academic) research 
* Initial design guidelines for designing for security & privacy in Firefox
* A small design exercise using the framework with a specific Firefox security or privacy issue
* A summary presentation & report about the findings

===What this project is NOT going to accomplish in one month:===
* Provide Mozilla with a list of opportunities for innovative design in the security & privacy space
* Provide a detailed analysis of user needs and mindsets (need ethnographic research for this)
* Have a concrete design for all of the security and privacy needs we currently have today
* Establish a really solid design strategy for security and privacy (need ethnographic research for this)

Note: We aren't going to accomplish the items above mainly because this is intended to be a scoping project. I'm not going to do any ethnographic research for this phase yet, nor will I try to address all the specific design problems we have in Firefox. These are all good things to start working on if phase I is a success though.
