This book makes the case that traditional security design does not take the end-user into consideration, and therefore, fails. This book goes on to explain, using a series of examples, how to rethink security solutions to take users into consideration. By understanding the limitations and habits of users - including malicious users, aiming to corrupt the system - this book Illustrates how better security technologies are made possible.
Traditional security books focus on one of the following areas: cryptography, security protocols, or existing standards. They rarely consider the end user as part of the security equation, and when they do, it is in passing. This book considers the end user as the most important design consideration, and then shows how to build security and privacy technologies that are both secure and which offer privacy. This reduces the risk for social engineering and, in general, abuse.
Advanced-level students interested in software engineering, security and HCI (Human Computer Interaction) will find this book useful as a study guide. HCI (Human Computer Interaction) practitioners designing user interfaces and privacy researchers and practitioners working in security, as well as software engineers designing software solutions (that can be abused) will also be interested in this book.

Industry Reviews

"This book provides fruitful content for engineers and researchers to consider when designing (or adopting) a security protocol. The editor uses many paradigms and charts to lively depict what he wants readers to comprehend. I recommend this book to readers who have a background in information security, especially cryptographic engineers and researchers." (Zheng Gong, Computing Reviews, August 11, 2021)
