Abstract
Attributes of information systems quality described in standard ISO/IEC25010 (2010) are analysed. Some of them are contradictory, dependent and competing. Two of the most competing pairs characteristics are (1) usability and security (U&Sec), (2) usability and safety (U&Saf). The article considers two main aspects of U&Sec interaction called «usable security» and «secure usability» . Collaboration and competition of pair of characteristics are discussed as well. Case study is represented by U&Sec interaction for university web-site.
