Mr. Andrey Belenko
Chief Security Researcher &
Software Developer
Elcomsoft

TITLE: "Secure Password Managers" and "Military-Grade Encryption" on
Smartphones: Oh Really?

ABSTRACT:

The task of providing privacy and data confidentiality with mobile
applications becomes more and more important as the adoption of smartphones
and tablets grows. As a result, there are number of vendors and applications
providing solutions to address those needs, such as password managers and
file encryption utilities for mobile devices.

In this talk we will analyze several password managers and file encryption
applications for Apple iOS platform and demonstrate that they often do not
provide any reasonable level of security and that syncing data between
desktop and mobile versions of the applications increases the risk of
compromise. We will also show that the best way to provide privacy and
confidentiality on Apple iOS platform is by adhering to Apple Developer
Guidelines and not by reinventing the wheel.

ThunderTables (which are improved RainbowTables) and was first to bring GPU
acceleration to password recovery. He is involved with development of tools
for computer and smartphone forensics. M. Sc. IT and CISSP.
