ACTION ITEM: Review of security and privacy issues paper

The research was excellent. I would add the following, the first of which 
was discussed in the IndieUI effort and will be encountered as we move to 
a more personalized web where the user's personal needs and preferences 
may be passed to a site so that it may provide essential access. 

Under "Web security and privacy technologies often block people with 
cognitive and/or physical disabilities who may not be able to:"
a bullet needs to be added that states:

When authentication occurs a user may be asked whether they trust the site 
to be able to pass personal, accessibility-related, preferences to the 
site. This was discussed in IndieUI work. A user may be afraid to trust a 
new site and it could cause them to cancel a transaction.  The act of 
asking the question may create concern for any impaired user and for the 
mature market this may cause even greater concern.

Under "Many people with cognitive disabilities:" add a bullet:
Users may not be familiar with how to operate the captcha form as its look 
and feel vary from site to site.


A solution for the last one would be a consistent personalized appearance 
across web sites. Different forms of authentication, such as a a NFC 
device with a security key is a way to provide simplified consistent 
access and avoid varying captcha UIs.
