User Interface Requirements for Authentication of Communication

Authentication is a security service that consists of verifying that someone’s identity is as claimed. There are a number of challenges to presenting information from the authentication process to the user in a way that is meaningful and ensures security. We show examples where authentication requirements are not met, due to user behaviour and properties of existing user interfaces, and suggest some solutions to these problems.
