Summary:
|
Accessibility design is an accessible design that enables users with disabilities to enjoy service. The concept of accessibility design was first introduced in 1974, which is a new design proposition put forward by the United Nations. Accessibility design has been widely used in urban architecture, transportation, public environment facilities and equipment, etc. Information accessibility refers to the equal, convenient and access to and use of information by anyone under any circumstances. In recent years, the Internet has developed rapidly, but information accessibility has not applied as widely as accessibility facilities.
There is still more work that needs to be done, especially for the authentication accessibility of visually impaired users(AA-VIUs), which is the precondition to access the information service and products for VIUs. But currently we still lack specific authentication accessibility standards for VIUs. Convenient and secure accessible authentication solutions and standards are strongly needed.
Generally speaking, traditional face recognition and password based technologies are not designed for visually impaired users, the usability is not good enough for them. In order to help visually impaired users conveniently access to the mobile applications, it is necessary to provide convenient and secure authentication requirements for visually impaired users. With this authentication scheme, visually impaired users can implement the authentication easily and securely, and then enjoy the digital services.
The significance of this proposal is to narrow the digital divide for visually impaired users, solve the problem of visually impaired users' integration into the digital society, and promote the universal benefit and healthy development of the digital economy through the authentication accessibility standard for visually impaired users.
This proposal provides requirements for authentication accessibility of visually impaired users based on different technologies, including accessible captcha, accessible handwriting recognition, accessible face recognition, accessible fingerprint recognition, accessible voiceprint recognition, accessible password, accessible KBA,accessible OTP,etc. By using one of those technologies or the combination of them, convenient and secure authentication requirements for visually impaired users are provided.
