Paper on (mis)understanding of security properties of multi-factor authentication

What does “MFA” mean?

Versions of the paper here have been presented at

• Who are you (WAY)? Adventures in Authentication, 2018 as "What does "MFA" mean? Conversations, Anecdotes, and a Call for Research" (PDF)

• PasswordsCon 2018, as ‘What does ”MFA” mean?’. There is a video of me attempting to present this and failing to keep to the time.

State of this repository

I make this repository public, but it is not fully designed for public consumption:

1. I don't have the BibTeX source files here, so you won't be able to build until I do that.

2. Building the SOUPS style version versus the legible version requires requires edits in the preamble of mfa.tex.

3. Requires FontAwesome.otf be available, and relies on XeLaTeX (might work with LuaTeX, but untested)

Built files

Included here is a PDF of the paper and a PDF of the slides used (Be sure to view that in Single Page mode so that overlays kinda work).
