Abstract

The usability of security systems has become a major issue in research on the efficiency and user acceptance of security systems. The authentication process is essential for controlling the access to various resources and facilities. The design of usable yet secure user authentication methods raises crucial questions concerning how to solve conflicts between security and usability goals.
