Abstract

With the widespread infusion of technology into society, children (ages 5-11) not only interact with technology but are also required to create and use credentials in order to authenticate and use various platforms. My primary goal with this research is to investigate children's understanding and practices in terms of creating and using credentials -- across the globe. I describe an initial study conducted via semi-structured interviews with children and an online survey with adults (parents and teachers), that help us to understand the adult's understanding of authentication and the role they play in children's credential creation and usage. Results shows that children have limited knowledge and understanding of credential creation and usage and that there is also a gap in adult's theoretical knowledge and practical implementations.
