Abstract: 

Visualizing security status information in web browsers has been a complex matter ever since. With novel security standards getting into wide spread use and entering the browser, this task becomes even more complex. This paper addresses this issue by analyzing the current state of the art in browser support for DNSSEC. As a result of this analysis, it is emphasized that the visual cues used for TLS and the ones for DNSSEC are not unambiguous and hence are more confusing than beneficial. An improvement is suggested, that relies on the idea of visualizing security services instead of security standard specifics. The paper contributes an icon set following this idea and presents evaluation results obtained by a user study.
