Abstract

This introduction to the IEEE Security & Privacy special issue on usability and security provides a description of how usable security has been transformed from a desirable system property to a rich area of serious research. It explains how usability testing differs from other kinds of software testing, describes some of the key papers on which current research builds, and summarizes the four articles in the special issue.
