Persuasion as Education for Computer Security
Alain Forget, Sonia Chiasson, Robert Biddle · E-Learn: World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education · 2007
Most organisations realise the importance of computer security, yet many struggle with how to teach and influence their users to behave securely. Despite existing research on new instructions and security measures, users create memorable but insecure passwords. In an effort to teach users how to behave more securely, we present the Persuasive Authentication Framework, which applies persuasive technology to authentication mechanisms. Furthermore, we describe some examples of how the framework can be applied to existing authentication systems.
