Abstract
The IT industry’s need to distinguish new products with new looks, new experiences, and new user interface designs is bad for cybersecurity. It robs users of the chance to transfer previously acquired security-relevant knowledge to new products and leaves them with a poor mental model of security. Starting from a comparison with physical safety, we explore and sketch a method to help users develop a useful mental model of security in cybersystems. A beneficial side-effect of our methodology is that it makes precise what security requirements the user expects the system to fulfill. This can be used to formally verify the system’s compliance with the user’s expectation.
