@gt I hadn't even realized how much I loved the Android shift affordance until I read your article! So usable I didn't even notice.

Maybe we need more user stories about developers. “As a dev, I want to know why people don’t use my software, but I don’t know how to ask.”

[Justin Troutman @justintroutman]

@SecureUsers My challenge: let's see if we can find the right abstraction without creating anything new. Play on what is already ubiquitous.

Draft of explanation of public-key crypto for new users, from @justintroutman http://t.co/Yqjh4ukCEB What's your favorite metaphor for it?

[Justin Troutman @justintroutman]

@gusandrews But, you can't get that across to them without explaining PKI, which we want to avoid like a thousand Heartbleeds.

[Justin Troutman @justintroutman]

@gusandrews A user might ask, "what if I lose my key, but not my seal?" Well, you can't, because they're actually two functions of one key.

[Justin Troutman @justintroutman]

@gusandrews The potential problem is: in reality, the private key decrypts *and* signs, but my idea was to separate these functions.
