Abstract
The thorny problem of usability has been recognized in the security community for many years, but has, so far, eluded systematic solution. We characterize the problem as a gap between theoretical and effective levels of security, and consider the characteristics of the problem. The approach we are taking focuses on visibility- how can we make relevant features of the security context apparent to users, in order to allow them to make informed decisions about their actions and the potential implications of those actions?
