Integration of Familiar Characteristics as Design Principle for Secure Systems

In the age of e-commerce, the importance of usable security tools for normal users is great. Therefore, in this article the use of trustworthy capacities is investigated for usable digital signature tools as a design principle for security tools in general. Since the digital signature should be equivalent to the authentic signature on paper, trustworthy capacities are mobility and the use of the handwritten signature. It will be shown that by using biometrics for activating the digital signature on mobile trusted end devices the usability is increased and security loopholes will also be avoided.
