Thanks to Caspar Bowden for telling us about Usable Security, a site which is absolutely fascinating and which concentrates on issues related to the sixth law of identity – the human as a part of the identity metasystem.
As if this site were not enough of a treat already, it contains a link to a paper called Making Prime Usable (this now works again – Kim). Prime is a european privacy initiative that brings together a number of important researchers.
The paper deals with many of the visualization and user experience issues we have encountered during our development of the InfoCard, so I'm reading it with great interest. Authors are John Sören Pettersson, Simone Fischer-Hübner, Ninni Danielsson and Jenny Nilsson from Karlstad University in Sweden; Mike Bergmann, Sebastian Clauss and Thomas Kriegelstein from TU Dresden; and Henry Krasemann from the Independent Centre for Privacy Protection (ICPP) in Germany.
People who care about the sixth law will find this irresistable.
