Using SSH for IoT Authentication
Jul 27,
2017
In a previous post, I wrote about attackers using default passwords in FTP and Telnet to compromise devices (especially IoT ones such as cameras). The compromised devices were then used to attack other devices on the Internet. I suggested users change passwords on the devices where possible but acknowledged that some were not changeable. I […]
The Next Big Thing in Biometric Authentication: Ephemeral Biometrics
Jul 25,
2017
A device like a FitBit may soon greatly improve user authentication. The key to this will be ephemeral biometrics. We talk about biometric authentication in some of Learning Tree’s cyber security courses, including the System and Network Security Introduction course and the CompTIA Security+ test-prep course. But how are ephemeral biometrics different? Biometrics Today Biometric authentication […]
