Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper, we are considering the possibility of using eye tracking technology in the context of information security. We expect that this novel technique will have a very effective impact in this field. Eye tracking technology is widely used to investigate user behavior when working with a computer. This technology allows to obtain analysis in the form fixation point (location of a user’s eye gaze), scan-path (gaze trajectory), heat maps (areas of interest), salient picture components. Eye tracking research has been widely used to improve the design and usability of web pages, as well as to explore an understanding how users are guided by them. Moreover, this technology is widely used in the protection of information.
