In this talk, Amanda Cavallaro will demonstrate how to use the Vonage APIs for SIM swap detection and verification through SMS alongside Firebase services for hosting, database, and storing the logic. The demo application includes a simple bank dashboard and a login form. If the SIM Swap API detects that a phone number was swapped recently, the verification code will not be sent, and additional security measures will be applied. A verification code will be sent via the Verify v2 API to authenticate the user if no recent swap is detected.

The more users you get, the better, right? Well, this is not always true. You certainly want to keep bots and fraudulent users out of your app. It's a common practice to add a second factor and send a verification code. However, there's a new villain in town and 2FactorAuthentication has to evolve to keep up. Done incorrectly, this can hurt your customer onboarding experience and be a costly mistake. Join this session to discuss the trade-off between security and user experience and learn how to build a secure onboarding experience that won't be a pain to your users.

The presentation is focused on exploring the innovative concept of Server-Driven User Interface (UI) and its transformative impact on mobile app development. We will dive into the dynamic approach of decoupling UI rendering from client-side code, allowing for real-time updates and modifications without the need for app store updates. It will also provide insights into the advantages of Server-Driven UI, such as enhanced flexibility, improved user experience and highly customisable content delivery.

In this talk we will discuss serverless functions, Edge functions, and handling data on the edge. We will also look at some sample code from a simple application.
