Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of usability of information security systems. Importance of usability for successful conducting of security tasks by users is shown. Usability security principles have been analyzed. Investigation of usability issues associated with information security-related tasks is conducted. Descriptions of the demands imposed on the users by each method of corresponding security task are compared with definitions of usability properties. The research on types of relations between usability properties and information security tasks is made. Future implication of the research results is shown.
