INFR 6020G - Usable Security

The security offered by a system can be dramatically influenced by its user interface. This effect has been observed across many cybersecurity applications that aim to help users in tasks such as secure authentication, encryption, system administration, and secure software development. The user interfaces for such applications require not only good usability, but also need to assist users in understanding risks and making decisions, typically in environments and situations where cybersecurity is not their primary concern. This course provides foundational knowledge on general HCI, usable security, and user interface techniques that have been proposed for cybersecurity applications. The course also discusses a set of cybersecurity problems whereby usable security approaches have been proposed.
Credit hours: 3
