Once the server is set up, we need to get entitlements working on the client end. What’s the Deal With “Entitlements”? Entitlements are Apple’s name for settings that are “baked into” the app, and signal the hardware to “open certain doors” for the software. Apple requires entitlements to be present, when accessing various technology SDKs ... Read more| Little Green Viper
In this posting, we’ll discuss the server setup for the demo app. The passkey is used in two places: Registration (creating an account), and logging in. After login, the server works in the same way that most of these types of things work. Server Configuration NOTE: The server source files are located in this directory. ...

Logging in is simpler, but we still have the challenge/response process, as we did with creation. With logging in, the client doesn’t need the server to prepare to create a new account, so it just needs a challenge. What to Look At The login process calls a number of methods within the client and server. ... Read more| Little Green Viper
Logging into a server, using an existing PassKey, is a lot simpler than creating a new account and PassKey. Prerequisite You can only login, using a PassKey, if one has already been established, through the creation process. It is assumed that the server has properly stored at least the Public Key, and the Credential ID ... Read more| Little Green Viper
In our code walkthrough, we’ll look at both the client code (Swift), and the server code (PHP). The creation process is the most code-intensive part of using PassKeys. What to Look At In this post, we’ll be looking at some particular methods, within each of the implementation classes. These are: The Client The Server Steps ... Read more| Little Green Viper
In order to use a PassKey, the client needs to create the key, and coordinate with the server. We should note that this is a VERY BASIC EXAMPLE. It’s quite possible to get a lot more involved, and a lot more secure. Multi-Step Process There are a few steps that we take, in creating an ... Read more| Little Green Viper

The Central Bank of the UAE has drawn a line in the sand. By March 2026, the era of the SMS and One-Time Passwords will be over for the nation's financial institutions. This is not a minor policy tweak. It's a seismic shift. For years, the SMS/OTP has been the default security blanket for digital banking. A familiar, but flawed, solution. But the CBUAE's directive acknowledges a harsh reality: in the face of sophisticated phishing, SIM-swapping, and social engineering attacks, this legacy met...| HYPR Blog

Choosing the right identity verification (IDV) partner is one of the most critical security decisions you'll make. As organizations fortify their defenses, it’s clear that verifying the identity of your workforce requires a fundamentally different approach than verifying customers. The stakes are simply higher. For customer verification, the primary goal is often a smooth, low-friction sign-up process. For your workforce, the goal is ironclad security to prevent a breach. The reality is tha...| HYPR Blog
Helpdesks are critical support hubs, but their central role makes them prime targets for sophisticated social engineering attacks. These attacks exploit human psychology, tricking helpdesk personnel into divulging sensitive information or compromising security, often by targeting credential resets. When attackers convince an agent to reset a legitimate user's password, they bypass security, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data. The devastating impact was demonstrated by t...| HYPR Blog

Why Phishing-Resistant MFA Isn’t Optional Anymore The escalating sophistication of phishing and social engineering attacks has pushed organizations towards stronger authentication methods. Phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA), particularly solutions leveraging FIDO2/WebAuthn standards, is a big leap forward in security posture. Many organizations utilize hardware-based FIDO2 authenticators like YubiKeys by Yubico, widely recognized as a gold standard for physical tokens, pre...| HYPR Blog

Attackers continually refine their methods to compromise user identities and gain unauthorized access to sensitive systems. One particularly insidious threat is Evilginx, a phishing framework designed to bypass traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) by operating as an adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) — sometimes known as man-in-the-middle (MitM) — proxy. Evilginx intercepts and manipulates communication between users and legitimate sites, enabling attackers to steal credentials, sess...| HYPR Blog
