+Experiences are small episodes in our everyday life that help us to learn and make sense of the world. They usually go along with intense emotions - shaping us, our opinions, and our relationships with others.
+Using technology can provide people with experiences, too. In order to design technology in an optimal way, we need to understand which experiences people had and have with technology and how we can shape these experiences in a positive way.
+My main interest is to understand users' and developers' experiences with security and privacy mechanisms.
+A focus of my work has been on smartphone security. Together with colleagues from TU Berlin and Ben Gurion University, Israel, we have investigated how users generally feel about smartphone security and privacy (see our [[http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SPW2015/MoST/papers/s1p2.pdf|paper]], published at MoST 2015). To further understand what motivates users to deploy security and privacy mechanisms on their smartphone, we have investigated how psychological needs motivate usage and shape experiences (see our [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214212616302708|article]], published in the Journal of Information Security and Applications, 2017). Together with colleagues from TU Berlin, Ulm University, and University of Michigan, we've further explored how Emoji-based mobile authentication performs in the wild (see our [[https://www.qu.tu-berlin.de/fileadmin/fg41/publications/kraus_2017_on-the-use-of-emojis-in-mobile-authentication.pdf|paper]], published at IFIP SEC 2017; a short summary of the paper is also available in the [[https://theconversation.com/why-emojis-might-be-your-next-password-76973|Conversation]]). A survey about user experience in authentication research is also provided in our PQS 2016 [[https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jan_Niklas_Voigt-Antons/publication/307168305_User_Experience_in_Authentication_Research_A_Survey/links/59229ac1aca27295a8a654db/User-Experience-in-Authentication-Research-A-Survey.pdf|paper]].
+I've recently started to work together with my colleague [[https://crocs.fi.muni.cz/people/mukrop|Martin Ukrop]] on investigating the usability of cryptographic APIs, thus exploring IT professionals as a user group. Updates will follow soon.
