    Emerging Trends in Usable Security and Privacy
    (i-com: Vol. 18, No. 3, 2019) Alt, Florian; von Zezschwitz, Emanuel
    New technologies are constantly becoming part of our everyday life. At the same time, designers and developers still often do not consider the implications of their design choices on security and privacy. For example, new technologies generate sensitive data, enable access to sensitive data, or can be used in malicious ways. This creates a need to fundamentally rethink the way in which we design new technologies. While some of the related opportunities and challenges have been recognized and are being addressed by the community, there is still a need for a more holistic understanding. In this editorial, we will address this by (1) providing a brief historical overview on the research field of ‘Usable Security and Privacy’; (2) deriving a number of current and future trends; and (3) briefly introducing the articles that are part of this special issue and describing how they relate to the current trends and what researchers and practitioners can learn from them.

    Satisfying and Efficient Privacy Settings
    (Mensch und Computer 2018 - Tagungsband, 2018) Rudolph, Manuel; Polst, Svenja
    Data protection is becoming increasingly important for users of digital services. Recent studies show that users are concerned that they have too little control over their personal data. However, users also complain that current interfaces for specifying privacy and security settings are too time-consuming and complicated. Therefore, we first identified the existing ways to configure these settings. Then, we experimentally examined which way of specification is best suited for a certain user type in terms of satisfaction or efficiency. Regarding efficiency, the type of specification with the smallest number of options, called security level, is best suited for all users. Regarding satisfaction, there is not a single type of specification that fits all user types, but different user types prefer different types of specification.
