Popis: The use of computers is becoming increasingly more important in everyday life, not only in the work environment, but also in domestic environments. As computer usage increases, so do the things that can go wrong. The Internet has opened up many new ways of communication — sending documents and other personal information via email for whatever reason. Not all users are information security experts, but also require assurance that they can trust the computer. Human computer interaction (HCI) should be as secure and productive as possible. An investigation into currently available HCI research results, literature and efforts from product suppliers revealed that almost no attention is given to the information security aspects during the design and development of human computer interfaces for IT-products. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the usability of security features in software used on a daily basis.
