Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Android Bad Practices: Weak Authentication
Abstract
The program uses private and/or device specific information to generate a universally unique identifier.
Explanation
Hardware and device specific identifiers persist across data wipes and factory resets. One should not rely on these to generate unique identifiers that are used to authorize or authenticate users.
Moreover, leakage of universally unique identifiers, that can be associated with personal information, pose a threat to user privacy and security.
Moreover, leakage of universally unique identifiers, that can be associated with personal information, pose a threat to user privacy and security.
