ewuehler writes “I don’t think I’ve ever heard a security application, be it a consumer anti-virus application or an enterprise IPS application, described as “user-friendly” or “easy to use”. When I read the title of the O’Reilly book Security and Usability: Designing Secure Systems That People Can Use, I took the bait and requested a copy for review. The title could also double as my current job description, so I was equally interested from a “job education” point of view. The book is a collection of (mostly) academic articles, grouped in sections and chapters. Each article/chapter is written by different authors; from Bruce Tognazzini who founded Apple’s Human Interface Group to Blake Ross of Firefox fame to names previously unknown to me. Read on for ewuehlers’ review.
