Author: LOPES, S. F.; BARBOSA, G. A. R; BARBOSA, M. W.

Abstract: Hyperconnectivity due to online social networks exposed security issues on data stored in these systems. This article presents an analysis on how online social networks designers have been communicating information security aspects through these systems’ interfaces. This analysis was made using the Semiotic Inspection Method on Facebook since it is largely used in Brazil and all over the world. Results showed that there is major concern with security information properties. Nevertheless it was possible to identify interface problems that could compromise use and understanding of such security properties.

Keywords: Semiotic Inspection Method. Social networks. Information Security.
