Authentication interface evaluation and design for mobile devices

The design of mobile device interfaces is an area that has started to be addressed in the human computer interaction (HCI) community during the past few years. While previous work on handheld interface design has focused on overall usability aspects, security related design issues have only been minimally addressed. An example of a security interface is an authentication interface as used by electronic commerce (e-commerce) web sites. The paper opens with a review of prior research on secure interface design. Results of a usability evaluation targeting authentication interfaces as accessed on mobile devices is presented. To illustrate design aspects of an authentication interface, a discussion of the eBay authentication interface is then discussed. Recommended guidelines are proposed for designing authentication interfaces as accessed via mobile devices.
