摘要：

Several methods that are employed to make the information security user friendly are discussed. One approach that might improve the way users perceive information security would be to reverse the current trend of obfuscating the processes on the computer and make the security processes more visible to them. Very few users ever read the end user license agreements or terms and conditions for the software and services that they use and will automatically click the accept button or tick the accept box. The attitude of the users has developed as a result of poor software construction and the presentation of many meaningless or unintelligible messages being presented to the user. The security staff and software developers have to seek assistance from psychologists and normal users to ensure that the messages that are presented convey the meaning in a form that is understandable by the majority and that the instructions or advice is relevant and achievable.
