“…For a system to be satisfactory, both the practitioners and the users must be content with the system [39]. This is determined by the willingness of both vendors and users to rely on and reuse the system [39]. It is important to be aware that the satisfaction is notably affected by the vendors' and the users' mood.…”

Biometric devices play an integral role in consumer’s daily life, providing a seamless environment. However, it is essential to measure the usability of biometrics, owing to the elements of biometrics satisfying both usability and security. This study redefines the elements of biometrics pertaining to usability determined in previous studies and adds elements of psychological relevance, such as privacy concerns. To organize the interrelated usability structure systemically, this paper applies the DEcision MAking Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to derive the usability structure. Thereupon, the established structure is applied in the clustered weighted Analytical Network Processes (ANP) to generate the proposed usability evaluation model. By these methods, the pertinent relationships between the factors are clarified and the weight of each element is determined. In the empirical study, 106 students measured usability of the fingerprint recognition system, iris recognition system, and facial recognition system employing our usability evaluation model. The results of this model generate the quantitative score of usability for biometric systems and suggest strategies to increase the score. The proposed usability evaluation model can comprehensively assist usability practitioners to evaluate biometric systems.

“…However, the authors have not provided an example to clarify how the proposed model can be applied to measure the usability of security systems. Hausawi and Allen [7] proposed a summative usable security evaluation matrix that aims to help in determining the levels of usability and security quality attributes during the software development lifecycle; their matrix includes three usability factors (efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction) and three security factors (confidentiality, integrity, and availability). Zhao and Yue [20] introduced a Cloud-based Storage to manage browser-based passwords, their approach aimed to achieve a high level of security and usability with the desired confidentiality, integrity, and availability properties.…”

Access control services in the cloud require defining which users, applications, or functions can have access to which data to perform what kinds of operations. There are thus three dimensions: (1) which users can (2) perform which operations (3) on which data. We speak of: (1) principals (i.e., users or roles), (2) privileges, and (3) objects, corresponding to these three dimensions, respectively. The act of accessing gives rights and privileges such as using or releasing data, modifying the access rights or accomplishing certain tasks. Permission to access also requires identity management. Research studies identify the existence of dependency between usability and security, and that there exists a conflict between the two, for which trade-offs are difficult to evaluate and engineer. This paper proposes a novel methodology for assessing the usability of access control services while ensuring that security requirements are met. The proposed methodology assists in integrating the experience of both security and usability experts by using different Human Computer Interaction methods as a way to identify the usability and security problems in access control security services in the cloud, and capture solutions to resolve such problems.

While there are many examples of incidents that make the need for more work around the human aspects of security apparent, the literature makes it obvious that usable security can mean many different things and usable security is a complex matter. This paper reports on a structured literature review that analyzed what the research community considers to be included in the term "usable security". Publications from the past five years were analyzed and different perceptions of usable security were gathered. The result is a listing of the different aspects that are discussed under the term "usable security" and can be used as a reference for future research of practitioners who are developing security functions with usability in mind.
