“…A user study evaluated the ability of 30 participants without any formal training to set up low-cost WiFi devices. They report the usability advantages of some of the devices over others [76]. The findings pertaining to non-technical users' ability to interface with limited menu options are useful but fall short of bringing out their needs in their situations.…”

We inhabit a 'digital first' society, which is only viable if everyone, regardless of ability and capacity, is able to benefit from online offerings in a safe and secure way. However, disabled individuals, people living under oppressive regimes, elderly citizens and individuals fleeing conflict can be excluded, because they might not have the opportunity to implement cybersecurity hygiene measures. To reduce this potential exclusion, it is crucial to make all users' situated realities focal variables in policy debates and provisioning efforts. This requires a validated set of basic minimum capabilities which reflect individuals' diverse personal and social realities. In this paper, we report on a scoping literature review intended to reveal the state of play with respect to capabilities-related research in the cyber domain. We motivate our initial focus on the over 65s for this investigation. We used advice from online government cybersecurity advisories to arrive at a set of five recommended cybersecurity hygiene tasks. These fed into a survey with sixty senior citizens to elicit the barriers they could envisage someone of their age encountering, in acting upon cybersecurity hygiene advice. The final deliverable is a candidate list of basic capabilities (cybersecurity) for seniors. This enables us to start measuring security and privacy poverty, an essential step in recognising and mitigating exclusion, as well as informing threat modelling efforts.

“…Some researchers have already evaluated several configuration strategies for Wi-Fi devices [16], whose target is to find what is the best method to transfer the Wi-Fi ssid and passphrase from a smartphone to a Wi-Fi device with little or no UI. They found that using USB or flashing (light sensor) suffers from platform dependency, and also indicated audio configuration is more platform-agnostic while requiring a cable and a few extra electronic components.…”

IoT devices are now enriching people’s life. However, the security of IoT devices seldom attracts manufacturers’ attention. There are already some solutions to the problem of connecting a smart device to a user’s wireless network based on the 802.11 transmission such as Smart Config from TI. However, it is insecure in many situations, and it does not have a satisfactory transmission speed, which does not mean that it has a low bit rate. It usually takes a long time for the device to recognize the data it receives and decode them. In this paper, we propose a new Wi-Fi connection method based on audio waves. This method is based on MFSK (Multiple frequency-shift keying) and works well in short distance, which enables the correctness and efficiency. In addition, audio waves can hardly be eavesdropped, which provides higher security than other methods. We also put forward an encryption solution by using jamming signal, which can greatly improve the security of the transmission.
