The current approaches in terms of information security awareness and education are descriptive (i.e. they are not accomplishment-oriented nor do they recognize the factual/normative dualism); and current research has not explored the possibilities offered by motivation/behavioural theories. The first situation, level of descriptiveness, is deemed to be questionable because it may prove eventua...

to evaluate and predict component-based software security, a two-dimensional model of software security is proposed by stochastic petri net in this paper. in this approach, the software security is modeled by graphical presentation ability of petri nets, and the quantitative prediction is provided by the evaluation capability of stochastic petri net and the computing power of markov chain. each...

We argue that apathy towards security is a serious and, as of yet, underexplored issue in HCI. Secure and trustworthy design will have difficulty to ever really succeed if the user’s priorities and intentions are contrary to these goals. The reasons for and different manifestations of security apathy have to be explored more thoroughly so that future design solutions can be evaluated not only o...
