Mutation testing for the agentic era
Tags: ai, api, authentication, blockchain, framework, guide, metric, open-source, risk, rust, skills, software, switch, tool, vulnerabilityCode coverage is one of the most dangerous quality metrics in software testing. Many developers fail to realize that code coverage lies by omission: it measures execution, not verification. Test suites with high coverage can obfuscate the fact that critical functionality is untested as software develops over time. We saw this when mutation testing uncovered…

Die verborgene Passkey-Architektur des Google-Authenticators könnte neue Angriffswege für passwortlose Systeme eröffnen
Eine aktuelle Recherche zeigt, dass das Passkey-Ökosystem von Google, das darauf ausgelegt ist, Passwörter zu ersetzen, unbeabsichtigt neue Angriffswege eröffnen könnte. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die passwortlose Authentifizierung nur so sicher ist wie die Systeme und Wiederherstellungsprozesse, die sie unterstützen. Während passwortlose Authentifizierung klassische Passwörter durch gerätegebundene kryptografische Anmeldedaten ersetzen soll, zeigt die Recherche, dass…
