Abstract

What constitutes risky security behaviour is not necessarily obvious to users and as a consequence end-user devices could be vulnerable to compromise. This paper seeks to lay the groundwork for a project to provide instant warning via automatic recognition of risky behaviour. It examines three aspects of the problem, behaviour taxonomy, techniques for its monitoring and recognition and means of giving appropriate feedback. Consideration is given to a way of quantifying the perception of risk a user may have. An ongoing project is described in which the three aspects are being combined in an attempt to better educate users to the risks and consequences of poor security behaviour. The paper concludes that affective feedback may be an appropriate method for interacting with users in a browser-based environment.
