Query: User-Centric IT Security - How to Design Usable Security Mechanisms   Nowadays, advanced security mechanisms exist to protect data, systems, and
networks. Most of these mechanisms are effective, and security experts can
handle them to achieve a sufficient level of security for any given system.
However, most of these systems have not been designed with focus on good
usability for the average end user. Today, the average end user often struggles
with understanding and using security mechanisms. Other security mechanisms are
simply annoying for end users. As the overall security of any system is only as
strong as the weakest link in this system, bad usability of IT security
mechanisms may result in operating errors, resulting in insecure systems.
Buying decisions of end users may be affected by the usability of security
mechanisms. Hence software providers may decide to better have no security
mechanism then one with a bad usability. Usability of IT security mechanisms is
one of the most underestimated properties of applications and systems. Even IT
security itself is often only an afterthought. Hence, usability of security
mechanisms is often the afterthought of an afterthought. Software developers
are missing guidelines on how to build security mechanisms with good usability
for end users. This paper presents some guidelines that should help software
developers to improve end user usability of security-related mechanisms, and
analyzes common applications based on these guidelines.
