Protection from the dark arts, Episode I

Hi, Habr!

Four of the 13 reports in the Mobius conference program, one way or another, are related to the security of mobile applications.

The topic is hot and therefore we decided to further strengthen this topic at the conference !
We brought some security issues not covered in the reports to a roundtable discussion on the protection of mobile applications.

So how will it look?

We asked some speakers to prepare topics for discussion at the round table. Panelists make small presentations on a particular topic . The moderator at this time vigilantly ensures that people do not deviate strongly from the topic.
By the way, and so that people would not leave reports ahead of time, we asked specially trained KGB agents to follow up on this. :)

What is the format of a round table?

The format of the classic report does not imply that the audience participates much in discussions. In the format of the round table, all participants will be able to participate in discussions with experts!
Who, often, have different opinions about the problems, so the topic under discussion may suddenly open up completely new aspects.
Moreover, with such communication, informal contacts are made easier!

You can not grasp the immensity

Even in spite of the fact that we made the reports on Mobius really great - 60 minutes, it is difficult to set out deeply and then discuss the topic!
And we have already said that for a deeper presentation of the topic there is a format for evening reports , where about two hours are allotted for a speech.

In general, we decided that at least some of the security issues should be taken out in a separate slot and allow the audience to participate in the discussion!

The experts will be:

1. Yury Buyanov, head of iOS development at e-Legion, specializes in banking software
2. Alexandra Svatikova, Mobile Application Security Specialist, Luxoft
3. Dmitry Desyatkov, Head of Application Security, Luxoft
4. Mikhail Dudarev, Ivan Kinash, the founders of Licel, are committed to writing tools to protect mobile applications.
5. Maxim Bazaliy, iOS developer from Ignite

Topics for discussion include:

Mobile Application Protection

• Developer Misconceptions
• Integration with the development process (individual activity, a set of measures or a process?)
• Engineering practices (their systematization and synthesis)
• Protection Toolkit

Banking Security

• Interaction with financial services
• Standards of protection, certification
• Bank security service
• Mobile app vulnerabilities

Examples of application vulnerabilities (web, social, banking, entertainment)

• Vulnerability as a means of earning
• Methods and tools for finding vulnerabilities
• Reverse engineering mobile applications

Typical vulnerabilities

• Methods and tools for hacking
• Platform Features

If you are interested in modern technologies of protection, if you want to learn more about how your colleagues solve their problems, come and actively participate in the round table: troll , ask questions, be smart, argue and argue!

All this will be on March 14 at the conference: Mobius .

In the meantime, if you have something to add on security issues (for example, you think that topics are worthless can be improved) or you want to act as an expert - comment!
