    Open Personalization: Involving Third Parties in Improving the User Experience of Websites Dissertation presented to the Department of Computer Languages and Systems of the University of the Basque Country in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (“international” mention) Cristóbal Arellano Bartolomé Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Oscar Díaz García Dr. Jon Iturrioz Sánchez San Sebastián, Spain, 2013 This work was hosted by the University of the Basque Country (Faculty of Computer Sciences). The author enjoyed a doctoral grant under de FPI (Formacion de Personal Investigador) from the Spanish Ministry of Science & Education during the years 2007 to 2011. The work was was co- supported by the Spanish Ministry of Education, and the European Social Fund under contracts (TIN2005-05610), MODELINE (TIN2008-06507- C02-01) and Scriptongue (TIN2011-23839). Summary Traditional software development captures the user needs during the requirement analysis. The Web makes this endeavour even harder due to the difficulty to determine who these users are. In an attempt to tackle the heterogeneity of the user base, Web Personalization techniques are proposed to guide the users’ experience. In addition, Open Innovation allows organisations to look beyond their internal resources to develop new products or improve existing processes. This thesis sits in between by introducing Open Personalization as a means to incorporate actors other than webmasters in the personalization of web applications. The aim is to provide the technological basis that builds up a trusty environment for webmasters and companion actors to collaborate, i.e. "an architecture of participation". Such architecture very much depends on these actors’ profile.

  • Using Cardspace As a Password Manager
    Using CardSpace as a Password Manager Haitham S. Al-Sinani and Chris J. Mitchell Information Security Group Royal Holloway, University of London http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk [H.Al-Sinani, C.Mitchell]@rhul.ac.uk Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel scheme that allows Windows CardSpace to be used as a password manager, thereby improving the us- ability and security of password use as well as potentially encouraging CardSpace adoption. Usernames and passwords are stored in personal cards, and these cards can be used to sign on transparently to corre- sponding websites. The scheme does not require any changes to login servers or to the CardSpace identity selector and, in particular, it does not require websites to support CardSpace. We describe how the scheme operates, and give details of a proof-of-concept prototype. Security and usability analyses are also provided. 1 Introduction The most common means of user authentication remains the use of passwords, despite their well-known shortcomings. Moreover, as the number of on-line ser- vices requiring passwords continues to grow, users increasingly re-use passwords, write them down in insecure ways, and/or employ passwords which can be read- ily guessed. The result is an ever-increasing risk of exposure of passwords to malicious parties. Users also risk having their passwords stolen [1, 2] through key logging, phishing, sniffing, shoulder surfing, etc. A solution that enables the use of site-unique strong passwords whilst main- taining user security and privacy is thus needed. Password managers of various types have been proposed to meet this need [3].

Abstract Background: The web has seen an explosion of chemistry and biology related resources in the last 15 years: thousands of scientific journals, databases, wikis, blogs and resources are available with a wide variety of types of information. There is a huge need to aggregate and organise this information. However, the sheer number of resources makes it unrealistic to link them all in a centralised manner.
