Abstract [sv]

Datorkraft och hastighet har på senare år ökat exponentiellt, men våra förväntningar och mentala modeller om vad datorsystem är kapabla till har inte följt med. I fall där människor inte tror på att systemet kan utföra de uppgifter som begärs så snabbt som de gör kan artificiell väntan appliceras för att förväntningarna ska komma närmare verkligheten. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka ifall security theater fungerar i kontexten av bankapplikationer och vad som händer med användarens förtroende ifall illusionen av säkerhet brister. Genom denna undersökning har vi fått fram att security theater är ett fenomen som fungerar och tillför ett värde för användaren. Dock ska kontexten ifråga utvärderas noggrant, då security theater i fel kontext kan ses som ett störande moment. Vi kom fram till att majoriteten av testpersoner inte påverkas negativt, och istället ser security theater som ett värde även efter illusionen genomskådats.

Abstract [en]

Computer power and speed have increased exponentially in recent years, but our expectations and mental models of what computer systems are capable of have not kept up. In cases where people do not believe that the system can perform the requested task as quickly as they do, an artificial wait can be applied to closer match the reality. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether security theater works in the context of banking applications and what happens with the users trust if the illusion of security fails. Through this paper we have found that security theater is a phenomenon that works and adds value to the user. However, the context in question must be carefully evaluated, as security theater in the wrong context can be seen as a disturbing element. We came to the conclusion that the majority of our test subjects are not negatively affected, and instead sees the value in security theater even after the illusion have been revealed.
