Abstract

Abstract

Cyberspace is a collection of all information systems, which refers to the information environment for human survival. Cyberspace security has expanded from physical and information domain security to human-centered social and cognitive domain security. The research on human security has become an inevitable trend of Cyberspace security. The characteristics of human are complex and changeable. The personality, as a stable psychological characteristic, is an appropriate breakthrough point for human security research. This paper investigates and untangles relevant personality research in Cyberspace security. The concepts of Cyberspace security and personality are introduced concisely. A research framework of personality in Cyberspace security is proposed, including theoretical research, technological research and technological application. The technological research mainly includes three parts: personality measurement, personality vulnerability and protection methods in Cyber security. Additionally, this paper discusses the current research status and problems of personality in Cyber security in detail. Finally, the future research directions and development trends of personality in Cyber security are explored.
- Personality,
- Cyberspace security,
- Personality measurement,
