Secure Interaction Design

Posted by timothy on from the touching-the-right-buttons dept.

Pingster writes "Next week, ICICS 2002 will take place in Singapore. Out of 40 papers at the conference, there will be just one paper that looks at human factors. Though many people know that usability problems can render even the strongest security useless, the security community has only recently started paying attention to usability issues. More serious thinking about usability and security is desperately needed. The paper proposes ten interaction design principles. Maybe you'll find them obvious; maybe you'll disagree with them entirely. Great! Let's have a discussion."

    First Post is indeed an art. But with so many artists out there... it's hard to break in, whether by sweat or by silicon.
    It's not really an AI problem... it's not a matter of outwitting Slashdot, it's just a matter of being at the right place at the right time.
    Meanwhile, we're getting some great suggestions in the First Post Journal. Thank you for your indulgence!

    Secure interaction is when Linux homos use a condom on each other's asses.

    This. Never. Happens.

  12. MOD PARENT UP by SoCalChris · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Poorly organized. Lynx-optimized website (with only two pages) [freewebtools.com], only two months to write papers [lwn.net], an overly broad topic, [csoonline.com]and being held in a pseudo-third world country [krdl.org.sg], away from the main countries where most research is being done, don't exactly add up to success. I'll be surprised if they register more than 500 attendees.

    This isn't flamebait or a troll, he has good points, and provided links to back up his claims. Instead of modding him down as flaimbait, why didn't you post a reply saying why you disagree with him?
