Toot

In usable security science, email encryption usability has evolved into a meme. The way I know this is just by paper titles. The following are titles of actual scientific papers that have been published.

1999: Why Johnny can't encrypt.

2006: Why Johnny still can't encrypt.

2016: Why Johnny still, still can't encrypt.

2018: Johnny can finally encrypt. But does this make him feel more secure?

I suspect Johnny still doesn't feel secure with his new skill.
