Password-less Authentication

[jochenchrist]

• Speaker: Jochen Christ
• Planned: 2017-12-12 (no. 17)
• Duration: 45m
• Description: Passwords are insecure and inconvenient for many users. Every day hacked password databases are reported and studies show a a drop in conversion rate in e-commerce when a registration with password is mandatory. We will talk about alternatives that rely on biometrics, possession or One-Time Tokens with the advantages and disadvantages.

Nice I really like this topic! Do you want to do it in December?

[jochenchrist]

When is December's dev-night?

[niklas-heer]

It will be on the 12th of December.

[jochenchrist]

Yepp, I can arrange that.

[niklas-heer]

Awesome! Do you want to do a practice after it? Because I thought that may be a bit difficult, so I would look for a second smaller talk afterwards.

What do you think?

[jochenchrist]

BTW: Talk will be in German.

[jochenchrist]

I don't think there will be much practical stuff.

We could play around with some password cracking tools, if there is no other talk ;-)

[niklas-heer]

Ok :) We'll see if I can find a smaller talk. But thank you for your contribution! It's really great! :)

[jochenchrist]

I'll do some collaboration part, so I'd be happy to fill 90-120 minutes.

[niklas-heer]

Okay very cool :) Then I'll create the event. :)

[niklas-heer]

I've created the event.
