Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017),

(120 minutes).
I Reveal My Attributes workshop.
IRMA is an authentication scheme in which users can obtain signed statements about themselves (e.g. your name, city of residence, over 18, etc.) from relevant authorities and later selectively disclose these values to service providers for authentication.
IRMA is flexible, user-friendly, secure and very privacy-friendly.
IRMA was developed at the Radboud University in the Digital Security group and is now being supported and matured under the care of the Privacy by Design Foundation.
Currently the IRMA app is available for Android.
Or, you can compile it yourselves, since the app (and all the services) are open-source.
You will be encouraged to try out IRMA for yourself and try to run a verification service to authenticate other IRMA users.

I am privacy researcher, currently working as a Post Doc with the <a href="www.ou.nl">Open University of The Netherlands</a>.<br/>
I finished my PhD on the security of wireless communication technologies such as GSM, GPRS and UMTS.
For this I looked into both theoretical and practical questions on security in the access part of such technologies.
I also proposed improvements to the wireless standards which prevent fake-base station attacks (IMSI catchers).<br/>
My current research is mostly focussed on maturing the <a href="https://privacybydesign.foundation/irma/">IRMA (I Reveal My Attributes)</a> technology.
The IRMA technology offers a way to authenticate users based on a subset of their attributes, which results in a very flexible and privacy-friendly eco system.
