“…A representative sample (n = 158) of users responded; 17 (11%) aged [under 18], 52 (33%) aged [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], 54 (34%) aged [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Results presented in this study are considered statistically significant since clear differences in detection rates between the four tested scenarios are demonstrated within each technical knowledge group: Novice (p < 0.001), Intermediate (p < 0.001), Advanced (p < 0.001) and Expert (p < 0.05) (see Table 1).…”

“…Authentication plays a vital role in user security. Eight authentication technologies were compared in [19] to assess which method(s) participants preferred, and how they perceived security relating to each. A variety of methodologies were presented namely, text password, graphical password, iris scan, facial recognition, ear shape, gesture, fingerprint, and speech, and participants instructed to use a selection of the authentication technologies to log into a system.…”

The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), and demand for low-cost, easy-to-deploy devices, has led to the production of swathes of insecure Internet-connected devices. Many can be exploited and leveraged to perform large-scale attacks on the Internet, such as those seen by the Mirai botnet. This paper presents a cross-sectional study of how users value and perceive security and privacy in smart devices found within the IoT. It analyzes user requirements from IoT devices, and the importance placed upon security and privacy. An experimental setup was used to assess user ability to detect threats, in the context of technical knowledge and experience. It clearly demonstrated that without any clear signs when an IoT device was infected, it was very difficult for consumers to detect and be situationally aware of threats exploiting home networks. It also demonstrated that without adequate presentation of data to users, there is no clear correlation between level of technical knowledge and ability to detect infected devices.

“…Currently, the framework aims for a high level of objectivity in the rating of authentication schemes. Still, research shows that subjective user perceptions of authentication schemes can differ from objective or technical features (Bhagavatula et al, 2015;Ur et al, 2015;Zimmermann and Gerber, 2017). Subjective perceptions, e.g.…”

Purpose Six years ago, Bonneau et al. (2012) proposed a framework to compare authentication schemes to the ubiquitous text password. Even though their work did not reveal an alternative outperforming the text password on every criterion, the framework can support decision makers in finding suitable solutions for specific authentication contexts. The purpose of this paper is to extend and update the database, thereby discussing benefits, limitations and suggestions for continuing the development of the framework. Design/methodology/approach This paper revisits the rating process and describes the application of an extended version of the original framework to an additional 40 authentication schemes identified in a literature review. All schemes were rated in terms of 25 objective features assigned to the three main criteria: usability, deployability and security. Findings The rating process and results are presented along with a discussion of the benefits and pitfalls of the rating process. Research limitations/implications While the extended framework, in general, proves suitable for rating and comparing authentication schemes, ambiguities in the rating could be solved by providing clearer definitions and cut-off values. Further, the extension of the framework with subjective user perceptions that sometimes differ from objective ratings could be beneficial. Originality/value The results of the rating are made publicly available in an authentication choice support system named ACCESS to support decision makers and researchers and to foster the further extension of the knowledge base and future development of the extended rating framework.

“…In 2017, Zimmermann and Geber [42] surveyed the user interaction with different authentication schemes (biometric and nonbiometric) to understand the users' perception and preferences. Thirty five participants were enrolled in the experiment and were asked to authenticate themselves using eight different technologies (text password, graphical password, gesture recognition, fingerprint recognition, face recognition, iris recognition, speech recognition, and ear shape recognition).…”
