Usable Security Versus Secure Usability: an Assessment of Attributes Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Attributes of information systems quality described in standard ISO/IEC25010 (2010) are analyzed. Some of them are contradictory, dependent and competing. One of the most competing characteristics are usability and security (U&S). The article considers two main aspects of U&S interaction called “usable security” and “secure usability”. The technique of qualitative assessment of the U&S interaction based on analysis of subcharacteristics and metrics is suggested. An example of the technique application to assess U&S interaction for university web-site is discussed.

متن کاملGuest Editors' Introduction: Secure or Usable?
Security and usability This “received wisdom” on the inherent conflict between usability and security goes against common sense and more than 30 years’ experience in building secure systems.
