Abstract

This poster presents work-in-progress in the field of usable security. The usability of security mechanisms is crucial to avoid unintended misuse of security mechanisms which lowers the security level of a system. It is the goal of the work presented in this poster to identify security design patterns with good usability. Requirements for security design patterns with good usability stem from existing usable security design guidelines. A collection of security usability failures is presented as well as examples of how misuse anti-patterns can be derived from these failures. Misuse cases will be used in future work to identify security design patterns with good usability.

Refining the Understanding of Usable Security
HCI for Cybersecurity, Privacy and Trust
Abstract
Cybersecurity technologies and processes must be usable if users are to make effective use of protection. Many security practitioners accept the value of usable security, but few can precisely define it in practice and in terms of how it ...
Usable Security by Design: A Pattern Approach
HCI for Cybersecurity, Privacy and Trust
Abstract
Security and usability are often in conflict. There is a recognition that security cannot be achieved in real sense unless it incorporates the human factor (usability elements). Despite this recognition, the state of the art identifies many ...

Human Aspects of Information Security, Privacy and Trust
Abstract
In this paper, we present a case study of designing and improving an interface for a web based security analysis software for the internet of things (IoT), called the IoTCube. The objective of the IoTCube is to provide an easy-to-use security ...
