N2 - There are many cases where people need to be aware of the security status of their network in order to be able to respond effectively to security risks. Most security mechanisms are however too complex and most users find it difficult to understand the system and respond effectively. There is therefore a need to design understandable security mechanisms. In this paper, we focus on the learnability of complex security protocols which is improved using symmetrical information visualization. From preliminary results, we can see that visualization and symmetry are useful tools for usable security. They are aesthetically pleasing for the user and can improve the understanding of protocols that would otherwise be difficult to comprehend for normal users.
