In DIS '10: Proceedings of the 8th ACM Conference on Designing interactive Systems. Aarhus, Denmark, August 16 - 20, 2010. ACM, New York, NY, 236-239. DOI= http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1858171.1858213, ISBN 978-1-4503-0103-9. (bib)

To counter the increasing number of online threats for users' privacy and security, this paper explores the design of an ambient security indicator, in form of a standard keyboard illuminated in different colors, and equipped with additional buttons and vibration functionality. We present the results of a focus group study, which significantly influenced the design, and propose a prototypical implementation called MoodyBoard.
