Download or read book Usable Security written by Simson Garfinkel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been roughly 15 years of research into approaches for aligning research in Human Computer Interaction with computer Security, more colloquially known as ``usable security.'' Although usability and security were once thought to be inherently antagonistic, today there is wide consensus that systems that are not usable will inevitably suffer security failures when they are deployed into the real world. Only by simultaneously addressing both usability and security concerns will we be able to build systems that are truly secure. This book presents the historical context of the work to date on usable security and privacy, creates a taxonomy for organizing that work, outlines current research objectives, presents lessons learned, and makes suggestions for future research.

Download or read book Security and Usability written by Lorrie Faith Cranor and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2005-08-25 with total page 741 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human factors and usability issues have traditionally played a limited role in security research and secure systems development. Security experts have largely ignored usability issues--both because they often failed to recognize the importance of human factors and because they lacked the expertise to address them. But there is a growing recognition that today's security problems can be solved only by addressing issues of usability and human factors. Increasingly, well-publicized security breaches are attributed to human errors that might have been prevented through more usable software. Indeed, the world's future cyber-security depends upon the deployment of security technology that can be broadly used by untrained computer users. Still, many people believe there is an inherent tradeoff between computer security and usability. It's true that a computer without passwords is usable, but not very secure. A computer that makes you authenticate every five minutes with a password and a fresh drop of blood might be very secure, but nobody would use it. Clearly, people need computers, and if they can't use one that's secure, they'll use one that isn't. Unfortunately, unsecured systems aren't usable for long, either. They get hacked, compromised, and otherwise rendered useless. There is increasing agreement that we need to design secure systems that people can actually use, but less agreement about how to reach this goal. Security & Usability is the first book-length work describing the current state of the art in this emerging field. Edited by security experts Dr. Lorrie Faith Cranor and Dr. Simson Garfinkel, and authored by cutting-edge security and human-computerinteraction (HCI) researchers world-wide, this volume is expected to become both a classic reference and an inspiration for future research. Security & Usability groups 34 essays into six parts: Realigning Usability and Security---with careful attention to user-centered design principles, security and usability can be synergistic. Authentication Mechanisms-- techniques for identifying and authenticating computer users. Secure Systems--how system software can deliver or destroy a secure user experience. Privacy and Anonymity Systems--methods for allowing people to control the release of personal information. Commercializing Usability: The Vendor Perspective--specific experiences of security and software vendors (e.g.,IBM, Microsoft, Lotus, Firefox, and Zone Labs) in addressing usability. The Classics--groundbreaking papers that sparked the field of security and usability. This book is expected to start an avalanche of discussion, new ideas, and further advances in this important field.

Download or read book Cognitive Security written by Linan Huang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest research in cognitive security, a rapidly emerging field that addresses the vulnerabilities in human behavior and cognition that can lead to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) compromise. This book demonstrates that as adversaries increasingly use manipulative and deceptive information to disrupt human cognitive processes, including sensation, attention, memory, and mental operations, humans are misled into fallacious reasoning and manipulated decisions that can lead to system-level meltdown. Cognitive security aims to protect humans from the exploitation of cognitive vulnerabilities, help them make informed decisions that are free from manipulation and undue influence, and mitigate the aggravating risk in the ensuing steps of the attacker’s kill chain. This book offers solutions that work across different fields, such as psychology, neuroscience, data science, social science, and game theory, to deal with cognitive threats. It guides the reader through the core ideas with figures, real-life examples, and case studies. Moreover, it formally defines all research questions, presents the results using mathematical theorems and proofs, and obtains insights through numerical validation. This book provides a self-contained and brief overview of essential system-scientific tools for modeling, analyzing, and mitigating cognitive vulnerabilities. The concepts of human cognitive capacities and cognitive vulnerabilities are formally discussed, followed by two case studies in the scenarios of reactive and proactive attention vulnerabilities. This book provides insights and applications on this transdisciplinary topic, with the goal of motivating future research in this emerging area and pushing the frontier of human-technology convergence. This book is a valuable reference for researchers and advanced-level students studying or working in cognitive security and related fields. It is also useful for decision-makers, managers, and professionals working within these related fields.

Book Practical  Usable  and Secure Authentication and Authorization on the Web

Download or read book Practical Usable and Secure Authentication and Authorization on the Web written by Alexei Czeskis and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: User authentication and authorization are two of the most critical aspects of computer security and privacy on the web. However, despite their importance, in practice, authentication and authorization are achieved through the use of decade-old techniques that are both often inconvenient for users and have been shown to be insecure against practical attackers. Many approaches have been proposed and attempted to improve and strengthen user authentication and authorization. Among them are authentication schemes that use hardware tokens, graphical passwords, one-time-passcode generators, and many more. Similarly, a number of approaches have been proposed to change how user authorization is performed. Unfortunately, none of the new approaches have been able to displace the traditional authentication and authorization strategies on the web. Meanwhile, attacks against user authentication and authorization continue to be rampant and are often (due to the lack of progress in practical defenses) successful. This dissertation examines the existing challenges to providing secure, private, and usable user authentication and authorization on the web. We begin by analyzing previous approaches with the goal of fundamentally understanding why and how previous solutions have not been adopted. Second, using this insight, we present three systems, each aiming to improve an aspect of user authentication and authorization on the web. Origin-Bound Certificates provide a deployable and secure building block for user credential transfer on the web. PhoneAuth uses Origin-Bound Certificates in order to allow users to securely authenticate to service providers in the face of strong attackers while maintaining the traditional username/password authentication model. Finally, Allowed Referrer Lists allow developers to easily protect applications against authorization vulnerabilities. We present the design, implementation, and evaluation for each of the three systems, demonstrating the feasibility of our approaches. Together, these works advance the state of the art in practical, usable and secure user authentication and authorization on the web. These systems demonstrate that through deep consideration of fundamental stakeholder values and careful engineering, it is possible to build systems that increase the security of user authentication and authorization without adversely impacting the user and developer experiences, while at the same time being deployable and practical.
