Abstract

This paper reports the preliminary study of implementing Kansei Engineering as emotion assessment platform in information security. Trust was chosen as the initial emotional traits for the study. The development and characterization of trust as Kansei stimuli is presented in this paper. In the development of trust as Kansei stimuli, literature reviews of previous published papers on trust as emotional aspect in information security were done in online databases, which are Science Direct, IEEE Xplore, Springer Link and Google Scholar. A number of 52 related articles were found to have reported on the topic. Based from literature reviews, the basic of trust elements in the information security were found to be integrity, benevolence and ability of the humans and technical entities in the information security implementations. Furthermore, trust assessments will also need to cover the element of cultural and religion influence in affecting the trust among the human users. Therefore, in characterizing trust as Kansei stimuli, the stimuli will need to assess the trust level of integrity, benevolence and ability of the humans and technical components, and also on cultural and religion background among the human users. With this findings, the development and characterization of trust as Kansei stimuli in information security domain was proven possible, thus provides novel findings that Kansei Engineering could be implemented as emotion assessment in information security domain. This paper shows and proven the possibility of the applying Kansei Engineering as emotion assessment platform in information security. It opened a new chapter in the research in Kansei Engineering and information security
