“…Moreover, with more people accessing the Internet from their Smartphones every year (see https://ourworldindata.org/age-structure ), and thus interacting with security mechanisms via soft keyboards, poor vision can present insuperable barriers to usage, unless the mechanism designed with accessibility in mind. Some noteworthy solutions explicitly accommodate this demographic [ 24 , 36 , 39 , 93 , 117 ].…”

It has been argued that human-centred security design needs to accommodate the considerations of three dimensions: (1) security, (2) usability and (3) accessibility. The latter has not yet received much attention. Now that governments and health services are increasingly requiring their citizens/patients to use online services, the need for accessible security and privacy has become far more pressing. The reality is that, for many, security measures are often exasperatingly inaccessible. Regardless of the outcome of the debate about the social acceptability of compelling people to access public services online, we still need to design accessibility into these systems, or risk excluding and marginalising swathes of the population who cannot use these systems in the same way as abled users. These users are particularly vulnerable to attack and online deception not only because security and privacy controls are inaccessible but also because they often struggle with depleted resources and capabilities together with less social, economic and political resilience. This conceptual paper contemplates the accessible dimension of human-centred security and its impact on the inclusivity of security technologies. We scope the range of vulnerabilities that can result from a lack of accessibility in security solutions and contemplate the nuances and complex challenges inherent in making security accessible. We conclude by suggesting a number of avenues for future work in this space.

“…Moreover, to make Braille accessible on touchscreen, vibration feedback is proposed in Jayant et al [28,29] which showed promising results. Besides, BlindLogin approach is proposed in Ho et al [30]. This approach is compared in Schaub et al [31] with other graphical password authentication systems for people with visual impairments.…”

Vibration-Based Pattern Password Approach for Visually Impaired People

The pattern password method is amongst the most attractive authentication methods and involves drawing a pattern; this is seen as easier than typing a password. However, since people with visual impairments have been increasing their usage of smart devices, this method is inaccessible for them as it requires them to select points on the touch screen. Therefore, this paper exploits the haptic technology by introducing a vibration-based pattern password approach in which the vibration feedback plays an important role. This approach allows visually impaired people to use a pattern password through two developed vibration feedback: pulses, which are counted by the user, and duration, which has to be estimated by the user. In order to make the proposed approach capable to prevent shoulder-surfing attacks, a camouflage pattern approach is applied. An experimental study is conducted to evaluate the proposed approach, the results of which show that the vibration pulses feedback is usable and resistant to shoulder-surfing attacks.
