Hello, I am researching the usability of cryptographic APIs at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. For this purpose I want to compare the usability of different Java APIs supporting digital signatures. Usability is a very important part of a good cryptographic API. Without usability, programmers will do mistakes which will lead to insecure software. I prepared an online editor where you will be presented with a programming task. This task should be solved using a randomly assigned Java API and should take you about 90 minutes. Only basic Java skills are required. As a little incentive, all participants have the chance to win one of three 100€ voucher for amazon. If you want to take part in my research, please visit the following page: https://research.azeier.de By participating, you would help me understand different problems programmers are facing when using cryptographic APIs. These insights are then used to create more usable APIs. I would like to thank you in advance for supporting the study and making a valuable contribution to my research. If you encounter any technical difficulties, please let me know.
