(41 words)
- [Step-Up Authentication with Passkeys: Transaction-Bound Signing for High-Value Payments](/content/post/step-up-passkey-transaction-bound-signing-payments/index.html): Session-level passkey auth proves a user logged in but not that they approved a specific wire. Transaction-bound signing closes that gap by deriving the WebAuthn challenge from the actual payee and amount so the signature is cryptographically tethered to the transaction itself — and it's exactly what PSD2/PSD3 dynamic linking requires.

- [Build vs. Buy Passkey Infrastructure: A 2026 Decision Framework for Banks](/content/post/build-vs-buy-passkey-infrastructure-banks-2026/index.html): An in-house passkey stack is roughly 27.5 FTE-months to build and 1.5 FTE per year to maintain. PCI DSS 4.0, DORA, and the 2023 Interagency Guidance reshape the math — build remains defensible for very large institutions with dedicated IAM teams or hard sovereignty constraints, but for most banks buying a bank-grade managed layer frees engineering capacity for work that actually moves the institution. (41 words)
- [The True Cost of SMS OTP Telecom Bypass Attacks Hitting Banks in 2026](/content/post/sms-otp-telecom-bypass-attacks-banks-2026/index.html): FBI 2024 data shows 982 SIM-swap complaints and $26M U.S. losses. The UK reported a 1,055% surge. A $33M arbitration against T-Mobile in March 2025 has priced the legal exposure.

- [TOTP vs Passkeys: Are Authenticator Apps Enough for Banks?](/content/post/totp-vs-passkeys-authenticator-apps-banking/index.html): TOTP and authenticator apps were a meaningful upgrade from SMS OTP, but the underlying threat model has not changed. AiTM phishing defeats TOTP, the seed is exposed at enrollment, and cloud-synced apps create a single point of failure. Here is what comes next. (41 words)
- [Why Banks Are Replacing SMS OTP With Passkeys in 2026](/content/post/sms-otp-vs-passkeys-banking-2026/index.html): NIST has classified SMS OTP as a restricted authenticator, adversary-in-the-middle phishing routinely defeats both SMS and email codes, and financial services authentication is moving to phishing-resistant, device-bound credentials. Here is a practical roadmap for the migration. (30 words)
- [Device Fingerprinting vs Authentication: Fraud Signal or MFA?](/content/post/device-fingerprinting-vs-authentication-fraud-signal-mfa.html): Device fingerprinting is a useful fraud signal, not a possession factor for authentication. It is probabilistic, spoofable at scale, and excluded from the regulatory definition of strong authentication. Here is where it fits in a 2026 financial services architecture. (41 words)
- [Magic Link Authentication Security in Banking](/content/post/magic-link-authentication-security-banking/index.html): Magic links solved a real friction problem for consumer SaaS. They have not held up well for financial services. The security of the link is the security of the email account, the link itself is phishable, and the model has no device binding. Here is what comes next. (30 words)
- [How Passkeys Compare to Every Major Banking Authentication Method: A Six-Part Series Recap](/content/post/passkeys-banking-authentication-comparison-series-recap.html): Over two months we compared passkeys against every major banking authentication method — SMS OTP, TOTP, hardware keys, fingerprinting, magic links, and synced passkeys.
