Abstract

In this paper, we propose methodology for improving usability of security tools based on human interface study. Today, users in general cannot use or operate presently available security tools effectively because they lack interface with high usability making them difficult to use or operate. However, if the security tools are effectively used, it is possible to find potential vulnerability information of a client computer. Therefore, we consider security scanners, and develop an interface for them with high usability based on human interface study, so that even general users can use them to find and fix vulnerability of their computers. We perform usability evaluation based on human interface study to the interface we have developed and we show that high usability has been realized from an objective viewpoint.
