Security and Privacy of 2FA Apps
Everything I do professionally is around helping engineers create amazing applications that are both secure and reliable. That’s why I build engineering tools and educational content that simplify application security.
Throughout my career, I have performed security audits for private and open-source projects, and have found critical vulnerabilities in Google and Mozilla products. I have also taught security to hundreds of engineers and students, while I have also been an external lecturer and Ph.D. candidate in computer science at the Technical University of Denmark.
Here are some of the things I’m working on right now:
- Developing a tool 🛠️ that helps software engineers build applications which comply with privacy requirements
- Creating weekly educational content on application security using comic art 🦇
- Creating a blog 📝 on security at securingbits.com
If you’re interested in learning more about application security, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send me a message, and make sure to follow me so I can make security easy for you 🙂
If you're thinking about implementing 2FA for your mobile or web app, it's essential to understand the privacy and security risks associated with various 2FA apps.
Today's comic is inspired by a recent paper written by Berkeley researchers Conor Gilsenan, Fuzail Shakir, Noura Alomar, and Serge Egelman.
If you're interested in reading the full paper with all the details for each 2FA app, you can find it here: https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity23/presentation/gilsenan
