Human-Centered Threat Modeling

A methodology borrowed from security and privacy research that identifies the people and institutions who intend to cause harm to a specific population, the threats they pose, and the defensive strategies the population uses. In accessibility research, human-centered threat modeling can be applied to understand how adversarial stakeholders impact disabled people's systems of access and to design assistive technologies that account for hostile relationships. This approach moves beyond traditional accessibility frameworks that assume all stakeholders are benevolent.
