Abstract
Abstract: We introduce the term user-centered security to refer to security models, mechanisms, systems, and software that have usability as a primary motivation or goal. We discuss the history of usable secure systems, citing both past problems and present studies. We develop three categories for work in user-friendly security: applying usability testing and techniques to secure systems, developing security models and mechanisms for user-friendly systems, and considering user needs as a primary design goal at the start of secure system development. We discuss our work on user-centered authorization, which started with a rules-based authorization engine (MAP) and will continue with Adage. We outline the lessons we have learned to date and how they apply to our future work. 1
