Abstract
With the advance of electronic commerce and other networked services there is a growing need for easy to use secure software.

Our objective is to develop a security concept that supports a user in making educated decisions and managing security issues in everyday networked service access situation. In this paper we present a user centered approach to the design of security software. We apply user centered design to the development of a security manager concept for a portable computer and communication device. The security manager supports the users in building a security policy and following this policy to form secure connections over an open network. The development of a user centered security concept for a personal communication device is described. The main focus is ...
