“…Scott et al report that the reduced visual acuity, contrast insensitivity, and decreased color vision impacted task accuracy and task completion speed. With particular application to authentication, Dosono et al [ 24 ] review the difficulties visually impaired users face in this respect. Issues include locating the login pane on the web page, not being able to find relevant information related to password requirements and verifying that authentication has been successful.…”

“…Issues include locating the login pane on the web page, not being able to find relevant information related to password requirements and verifying that authentication has been successful. Moreover, password masking (displaying a when a key is typed), interferes with the ability of users using assistive technologies, such as JAWS screen readers [ 24 ].…”

“…Moreover, with more people accessing the Internet from their Smartphones every year (see https://ourworldindata.org/age-structure ), and thus interacting with security mechanisms via soft keyboards, poor vision can present insuperable barriers to usage, unless the mechanism designed with accessibility in mind. Some noteworthy solutions explicitly accommodate this demographic [ 24 , 36 , 39 , 93 , 117 ].…”

It has been argued that human-centred security design needs to accommodate the considerations of three dimensions: (1) security, (2) usability and (3) accessibility. The latter has not yet received much attention. Now that governments and health services are increasingly requiring their citizens/patients to use online services, the need for accessible security and privacy has become far more pressing. The reality is that, for many, security measures are often exasperatingly inaccessible. Regardless of the outcome of the debate about the social acceptability of compelling people to access public services online, we still need to design accessibility into these systems, or risk excluding and marginalising swathes of the population who cannot use these systems in the same way as abled users. These users are particularly vulnerable to attack and online deception not only because security and privacy controls are inaccessible but also because they often struggle with depleted resources and capabilities together with less social, economic and political resilience. This conceptual paper contemplates the accessible dimension of human-centred security and its impact on the inclusivity of security technologies. We scope the range of vulnerabilities that can result from a lack of accessibility in security solutions and contemplate the nuances and complex challenges inherent in making security accessible. We conclude by suggesting a number of avenues for future work in this space.

“…Future research for addressing this open question should focus upon incorporation of new functionalities and features within video-surveillance settings that are inclusive to different user abilities, identities and values [16]. This process would involve re-evaluation of existing videosurveillance system designs for accessibility and inclusion [1,2,8,9,11]. Researchers need to carefully study the challenges posed by the current privacy-mediation technologies to different groups of underserved populations, given that the needs of people with disabilities vary from one group to another [14,15].…”

“…There are multiple perspectives, including ethical grounds, on identifying the needs of these under-served populations. Moreover, the differences in the abilities of these individuals are linked to a history of certain disadvantages [9,10]. In short, when it comes to studying the needs of disabled individuals, determining disparities in human abilities is a complex matter.…”

Mainstream public video-surveillance systems are not generally designed to provide accommodations for under-privileged and under-represented subjects [1,2]. These subjects comprise of physically-challenged individuals, visually-impaired people and senior-citizens. With the recent emergence of the GDPR act [3,4], all surveillance data subjects, including these under-served populations, need to be offered an opportunity to provide consent, according to the Opt-in and Opt-out rule, regarding being recorded on closed-circuit televisions (CCTV) and other security cameras. Research advances in privacy-enhancing innovations [5,6], and privacy-mediating features [6,7] have helped visualsurveillance systems evolve towards offering more subject-centric privacy consenting options. However, these present state-of-theart technologies do not account for the underserved people. In order to be more inclusive in its privacy-mediating design, a video surveillance system needs to address the difficulties posed by technologies to the under-served subjects. In this article, we discuss this potential gap in research work, and explore the need of designing more inclusive privacy consenting functionalities within video-surveillance systems. B.
