ABSTRACT
Computer technology is rapidly changing, and the world will soon be connected in one way or another to the Internet. Personal, enterprise, and government information will be digitalized from its physical form. The chapter provides a summary of future perspectives on the future of human factors in cybersecurity. Authentication will no longer be dominated by passwords. Consequently, users should expect authentication with less pain and more ease in the future. Biometric usage has the potential of greatly improving cybersecurity, because it relies on inherent biological traits rather than knowledge factors for authenticating or identifying users. Biometric verification will increase in use in combination with other methods of identity proofing and authentication. Biometric characteristics will likely become extensively used for biometric verification, but if the site implements effective attacks detection, then using stolen biometric data to authenticate might not work.
