HCI: Use in Cyber Security

Abstract

This paper deals with the uses of HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) with Cyber Security and Information Security. Even though there have been efforts to strengthen the infrastructure of the security systems, there are many endemic problems which still exist and are a major source of vulnerabilities. The paper also aims to bridge the gap between the end-user and the technology of HCI. There have been many widespread security problems from the perspective of the security community, many of which arise due to the bad interaction between humans and systems. Developing on the Human-Computer Interaction is an important part of the security system architecture because even the most secure systems exist to serve human users and carry out human-oriented processes, and are designed and built by humans. HCI is concerned with the user interfaces and how they can be improved because most users' perceptions are based on their experience with these interfaces. There has been immense research on this field and many advances have been made in this arena of HCI. Speaking of Information Security on the other hand has been a major concern for the present world scenario where everything is done in the digital world.
