Participants wanted for study on usable security

You are invited to participate in research on the usability of gaze prints, a new secure login technique that uses eye tracking!

The purpose of this research is to study requirements for creating a usable ATM interface for gaze prints. This system uses eye tracking technology to uniquely identify individuals, similar to a fingerprint or signature.

If you decide to participate, we will schedule an appointment with you in Sieg Hall at the University of Washington. This appointment will last about 1 hour. You will be asked some general questions about your security habits and preferences, and will be asked to give feedback on several user interface designs that we have. You may also be asked to interact with a computer equipped with an eye tracking system.

If you are over 18 and sighted, you may be eligible to participate. There are no foreseeable risks or benefits to you for participating in this research.

This study is being conducted in the Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle campus. Your participation in this research is voluntary, and you are free to refuse to participate or quit the experiment at any time.

If you have questions about the research or are interested in participating, please contact Michael Brooks by email at mjbrooks@uw.edu or by phone at (440) 865-2437.

We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information sent by email.
