Textual passwords are still the most widely used user authentication mechanism. Due to the close connections between textual passwords and natural languages, advanced technologies in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning…
Passwords are still used on a daily basis for all kind of applications. However, they are not secure enough by themselves in many cases. This work enhances password scenarios through two-factor authentication asking the users to draw each…
TactileWalk evaluates dynamic electrotactile patterns on fingertips for wearable navigation. We developed a fingertip stimulation prototype featuring a 10x6 electrode grid driven by an ESP32 microcontroller and high-voltage drivers to…
Natural language prompts often suffer from intent transmission loss: the gap between what users actually need and what they communicate to AI systems. We evaluate PPS (Prompt Protocol Specification), a 5W3H-based framework for structured…
The growing popularity of online services and IoT platforms along with increased developer's access to devices and services through RESTful APIs is giving rise to a new class of frameworks that support trigger-action programming. These…
Context and Motivation: Due to their increasing complexity, everyday software systems are becoming increasingly opaque for users. A frequently adopted method to address this difficulty is explainability, which aims to make systems more…
Unveiling individuals' preferences for connecting with similar others (choice homophily) beyond the structural factors determining the pool of opportunities, is a challenging task. Here, we introduce a robust methodology for quantifying and…
Dark patterns are user interface design choices that benefit an online service by coercing, steering, or deceiving users into making unintended and potentially harmful decisions. We present automated techniques that enable experts to…
In this paper, we investigate common pitfalls affecting the evaluation of authentication systems based on touch dynamics. We consider different factors that lead to misrepresented performance, are incompatible with stated system and threat…
We conducted an online study with $n = 235$ Signal users on their understanding and usage of PINs in Signal. In our study, we observe a split in PIN management and composition strategies between users who can explain the purpose of the…
Mobile user interfaces abundantly feature so-called 'dark patterns'. These deceptive design practices manipulate users' decision making to profit online service providers. While past research on dark patterns mainly focus on visual design,…
In the age of ubiquitous technologies, security- and privacy-focused choices have turned out to be a significant concern for individuals and organizations. Risks of such pervasive technologies are extensive and often misaligned with user…
This paper investigates multi-selection in XR interfaces based on eye and hand interaction. We propose enabling multi-selection using different variations of techniques that combine gaze with a semi-pinch gesture, allowing users to select…
Over the past 15 years, researchers have identified an increasing number of security mechanisms that are so unusable that the intended users either circumvent them or give up on a service rather than suffer the security. With hindsight, the…
Distributed protocols are notoriously difficult to verify correctly. Proving safety typically requires inductive invariants that both imply the desired property and are preserved by every protocol transition; yet inferring such invariants…
The aim of this research paper is to look into the use of continuous authentication with mobile touch dynamics, using three different algorithms: Neural Network, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and Support Vector Machine. Mobile devices are…
To increase mobile user engagement, current apps employ a variety of behavioral nudges, but these engagement techniques are applied in a one-size-fits-all approach. Yet the very same techniques may be perceived differently by different…
This research presents a proof-of-concept prototype of an all-in-one mixed reality application platform, developed to investigate the needs and expectations of users from mixed reality systems. The study involved an extensive user study…
We demonstrate IFTT-PIN, a self-calibrating version of the PIN-entry method introduced in Roth et al. (2004) [1]. In [1], digits are split into two sets and assigned a color respectively. To communicate their digit, users press the button…
Simplifying line charts for responsive displays typically applies a single algorithm uniformly across devices, despite the availability of multiple techniques that preserve different signal characteristics (e.g., peaks, trends,…
