        Subject:  Human Error in Information Security

        The MIT Division of Humans and Automation is currently
investigating the

        significance of human error in information security. This
research,
        supported by the National Science Foundation, will be used to
better
        understand the key human error issues in information security.
Your
        participation is deeply appreciated.

        In order to ease communications, MIT will be collecting your
input
        on-line, through a web site a student and I have developed for
this
        effort.  The web site is located at:
