Braga, Alexandre, and Ricardo Dahab. "Mining cryptography misuse in online forums." 2016 IEEE International Conference on Software Quality, Reliability and Security Companion (QRS-C). IEEE, 2016.

This study investigates cryptography misuse by software developers through contributions to online forums focused on cryptography and security. Analyzing posts from Oracle Java Cryptography, Google Android Developers, and Google Android Security Discussions using the Apriori data mining technique, the research reveals high probabilities of cryptographic misuses masked by technology-specific issues. Misuses often occur in pairs or triples, with complex architectures exacerbating developer errors.
