Personas are useful for obtaining an empirically grounded understanding of a secure system's user population, its contexts of use, and possible vulnerabilities and threats endangering it. Often, however, personas need to be partly derived from assump... Read More about The secret lives of assumptions: developing and refining assumption personas for secure system design..

Security through usability: a user-centered approach for balanced security policy requirements. (2010)
Presentation / Conference
FAILY, S. and FLÉCHAIS, I. 2010. Security through usability: a user-centered approach for balanced security policy requirements. Presented at the 26th Annual computer security applications conference (ACSAC 2010), 6-10 December 2010, Austin, USA.

Security policy authors face a dilemma. On one hand, policies need to respond to a constantly evolving, well reported threat landscape, the consequences of which have heightened the security awareness of senior managers. On the other hand, the impact... Read More about Security through usability: a user-centered approach for balanced security policy requirements..

To boldly go where invention isn't secure: applying security entrepreneurship to secure systems design. (2010)
Conference Proceeding
FAILY, S. and FLÉCHAIS, I. 2010. To boldly go where invention isn't secure: applying security entrepreneurship to secure systems design. In Proceedings of the 2010 New security paradigms workshop (NSPW 2010), 21-23 September 2010, Concord, USA. New York: ACM [online], pages 73-84. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1145/1900546.1900557

When designing secure systems, we are inundated with an eclectic mix of security and non-security requirements; this makes predicting a successful outcome from the universe of possible security design decisions a difficult problem. We propose augment... Read More about To boldly go where invention isn't secure: applying security entrepreneurship to secure systems design..

Barry is not the weakest link: eliciting secure system requirements with personas. (2010)
Conference Proceeding
FAILY, S. and FLÉCHAIS, I. 2010. Barry is not the weakest link: eliciting secure system requirements with personas. In Proceedings of the 24th International BCS human computer interaction conference (HCI 2010): games are a serious business, 6-10 September 2010, Dundee, UK. Swindon: BCS, pages 124-132. Hosted on ScienceOpen [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2010.17

Building secure and usable systems means specifying systems for the people using it and the tasks they carry out, rather than vice-versa. User-centred design approaches encourage an early focus on users and their contexts of use, but these need to be...
