Abstract
Traditional research on security has been based on the assumption that a user feels secure when provided with secure systems and services. In this research we address factors influencing users’ sense of security. This paper reports our recent discoveries regarding the structure of the sense of security — Anshin. We conducted a questionnaire survey regarding the sense of security. Results using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) identified six factors contributing to the sense of security. Furthermore, the structure of the sense of security is divided into two parts: personal and environmental.
