Evaluation of different trust models

Florian Mercks, in the works

Every user makes the decision, depending on their own requirements, whether an application can be trusted or not and decides it consciously or subconsciously. Trust can be developed in different ways in applications, but can quickly be lost again. Particularly in the context of security-relevant applications, the more a user thinks about whether they are willing to share their own data with the service, for example. The problem is that although everyone has a feeling about trust, this is difficult to define as a concrete model.The question now is whether there are guidelines or models that designers and developers can follow that are more likely to lead to user trust in the application?

The purpose of this thesis is to research and evaluate existing trust models. In doing so, recommendations for suitable trust models will be made and the different problems of existing models will be identified and a proposal for improvement will be developed.

Development of a Wallet Demo App 

Robin Wenzel, in the works

Digital identities are used to identify oneself online. In order to be able to identify oneself with different identification documents, it is possible to use so-called identity wallets. They allow the user alone to decide which data is sent to which provider for the purpose of identification. Since personal data is handled in this case, it is relevant for the acceptance of such solutions that the user also trusts the application.

 The goal of this thesis is to develop a wallet app that simulates the digitization of an identity card. This app will then be evaluated in terms of usability and trust.

In order to motivate patients to seek medical advice who may not wish to do so because of concerns about exposure, there is a motivation to offer anonymized remote consultation based on voice distortion.

Evaluation of a Wallet Demo App 

Johannes Ehrich, in the works

Digital identities are used to identify oneself online. In order to be able to identify oneself with different identification documents, it is possible to use so-called identity wallets. They allow the user alone to decide which data is sent to which provider for the purpose of identification. Since personal data is handled in this case, it is relevant for the acceptance of such solutions that the user also trusts the application.

The goal of the thesis is to determine the trust in wallet solutions based on the digitized documents as well as the requirements for this document regarding its digitization.
