If you have a question about this talk, please contact Kieron Ivy Turk.

I’ll describe a recent line of work on identifying authentication vulnerabilities in mobile phone services and websites. I’ll show how authentication practice has lagged behind research and, in turn, research has not paid attention to the practical constraints that made these vulnerabilities more likely. Finally, I will draw from the experience of this research to share some thoughts on how information security research can better serve societal needs.

This talk is based on joint work with Kevin Lee, Ben Kaiser, Sten Sjöberg, and Jonathan Mayer.
