/ 30 Mar, 2026Deepfake Impersonation Attacks (Part 2): Defending with SlashID Mutual TOTP
As generative AI makes deepfake impersonation attacks increasingly convincing, traditional enterprise security controls fail to protect human-to-human communication channels.
This post introduces SlashID Mutual TOTP, a cryptographic verification mechanism that replaces perception-based trust with mathematical proof of identity, stopping deepfake impersonation attacks before sensitive information is shared.

/ 21 Sep, 2023JWT Implementation Pitfalls, Security Threats, and Our Approach to Mitigate Them
JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are one of the most common ways to transfer identity claims and prove the identity of a user or an entity. JWTs have become very popular in recent years because they are easy to use, read, and debug.
JWTs provide a lot of flexibility at the expense of several security risks that are often overlooked. In this article, we'll discuss common risks when implementing or manipulating JWTs and our approach to avoiding them.
