O’Reilly’s Security and Usability, First Edition

oreilly.com — Online Catalog: Security and Usability, First Edition:

“Destined to be the classic reference in this emerging field, Security & Usability collects 34 groundbreaking essays from leading security and human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers on authentication, privacy and anonymity, secure systems, commercialization, and much more. It is expected to start an avalanche of discussion, new ideas, and further advances in this important field.”

The intersection of security and usability was always a critical issue when I was working on lexis.com. O’Reilly is prescient as usual in bringing out a book that hits on the nexus of these two often apparently countervailing imperatives.
