Website on Risk-based Authentication launched

Accompanying the accepted IFIP SEC paper, we launched the website rbainfo.org to inform about Risk-based Authentication (RBA) in general. The website presents the RBA state-of-the-art and discloses how eight popular online services use this technology.

Besides the paper and detailed results, the website also provides a video of the Facebook privacy leak which was discovered in the study.

German technology news website GIGA.de gave press coverage on the Facebook privacy leak, including an interview with Stephan Wiefling.
