Focus: (1) Identification of security problems, trends and solution along six axes -- computational, structural, physical, social, business opportunity and intellectual property viability. (2) Development of disruptive security technologies, supported by the outcome of the above identification, and guided by quantitative and qualitative fraud metrics. Using adversarial modeling from the field of cryptography, combined with related modeling of human behavior, I analyse the security of real-life applications and design improved security protocols. The efforts are often aimed at gaining a better understanding of and preventing phishing, pharming, malware spread, spam, spoofing and click-fraud, but also address incentive problems, advertisement, and privacy. My background involves applied security, cryptographic protocol design, theoretical aspects of cryptography, incentive structures, lightweight cryptography and wireless security. I am interested in intellectual property matters - and even enjoy being deposed! 100+ publications: http://www.markus-jakobsson.com/publications 50+ issued patents: https://www.google.com/?tbm=pts#q=bjorn+markus+jakobsson&tbm=pts Specialties: Mobile malware, fraud, user authentication, device id, phishing and countermeasures, combined social and technical threats, protocol design, privacy, click-fraud, user interfaces, deceit, voting, mobile security. My Erdös number is 3.

Advisory Board Member @ From October 2014 to Present (1 year 3 months) Testifying Expert Witness @ I have worked as testifying expert witness in computer and network security for a collection of patent litigation trials, criminal cases, and class action suits - both in the US and in Canada. Believe me or not: I love depositions! I have worked for McDermott, Will & Emery; Bereskin & Parr; WilmerHale; Hunton & Williams; Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan; Freed & Weiss; Berry & Domer; Fish & Richardson; DLA Piper; Cipher Law Group; Keker & Van Nest. Please contact me for more information and for references. From January 2005 to Present (11 years) co-founder @ We develop educational material to promote better security decisions. Visit www.securitycartoon.com for an example of what we can do! From 2007 to Present (8 years) Founder @ We believe that phishing is best fought using server-side measures, thereby avoiding educational requirements, support calls, and fears of spoofed requests to "update" software. My role in RavenWhite involves developing the vision of where the threats are headed; coordination of product development; and client contacts. From 2005 to Present (10 years) Adjunct Associate Professor @ In 2004, IUB made a major effort in building a strong security group (see http://security.informatics.indiana.edu/), with support from the Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research (http://cacr.iu.edu/) and various funding agencies. From August 2004 to Present (11 years 5 months) Founder and CTO @ ZapFraud addresses the rising scam problem using disruptive technology. From January 2012 to Present (4 years) Senior Director @ Chances are that you own at least one device with Qualcomm's technology in it. I joined Qualcomm as part of their acquisition of FatSkunk, the malware detection company I founded in 2009. From December 2013 to November 2015 (2 years) Member of technical advisory board @ From October 2012 to December 2013 (1 year 3 months) Member of technical advisory board @ From August 2012 to December 2013 (1 year 5 months) Co-founder, CTO @ FatSkunk deals with mobile malware in an entirely new way. Starting December 2013, FatSkunk is part of Qualcomm. From August 2009 to December 2013 (4 years 5 months) Member of Technical Advisory Board @ From June 2008 to December 2013 (5 years 7 months) Principal Scientist, Consumer Security @ I designed improved authentication technology and anti-fraud technology - see www.derivedPIN.com and www.SpoofKiller.com From May 2011 to September 2013 (2 years 5 months) Member of Fraud Advisory Board @ From March 2009 to August 2013 (4 years 6 months) Principal Scientist @ Principal Scientist at PARC, and a member of the security group -- spending much time on understanding fraud, authentication and malware. From October 2007 to April 2010 (2 years 7 months) Principal Research Scientist @ My research was focused on finding the next threats and applications; I made efforts to steer the RSA research towards wireless research, RFID research, and phishing research. Although these directions were not immediately embraced, they are now part of the central research foci of RSA Labs. From May 2000 to August 2004 (4 years 4 months) Member of Technical Staff @ From June 1997 to May 2000 (3 years) Founder @ Ran a small software company producing educational software for the Swedish market. Did pretty well until imported software killed us. From 1985 to 1992 (7 years)

PhD, computer science @ University of California, San Diego From 1993 to 1997 MSc (civilingenjor), computer engineering (datateknik) @ The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University From 1987 to 1992 Gullstrandsskolan From 1984 to 1987 Markus Jakobsson is skilled in: Cryptography, Security, Computer Security, Information Security, Network Security, Malware Analysis, Mobile Devices, Internet Security, Authentication, Research, Application Security, email scams, Start-ups, Identity Management, Mobile Security
