- Explores smartphone security awareness and adoption of controls (e.g., authentication) based on a large survey of digital natives. This demographic is underexplored, yet significant in terms of technology adoption. A novel finding was that security behaviour may be associated with language and gender factors, which has design and training implications. This has informed further research on security awareness of digital natives (e.g., Gkioulos et al., 2017), security awareness on smartphones (e.g., Breitinger et al., 2020), as well as mobile security practices (e.g., Neal & Woodard, 2016).
