Title: Privacy and Security: Usable Security: How to Get It.

Abstract: The author argues that there is no user model for computer security and that security experts, economists and cognitive scientists should combine their efforts to achieve one. The author maintains that computer security involves risk management in that the user must balance the costliness of security in terms of economics and time against the possible loss of information. He maintains that these costs must be quantified so that users can rationalize their expense and vendors can address user needs. He also mentions the need for system accountability as well as a free flow of information.
