Abstract: The first part of the talk will be about Samsung Research (based in Seoul), providing an overview of different types of cybersecurity research that are currently being conducted at Samsung Research. The second part of the talk will be about building usable and secure location-based authentication schemes for smartphones. Based on a paper that was recently published at SOUPS 2021, this talk will explain design requirements identified through a user perception interview study, and discuss security implications of allowing users to freely register locations and adjust location coverage sizes.
