Perfidy, Deception, Fraud - How Much Trust Should We Put in a PDF?
, ZKM Kubus
Sprache: English

In our daily life, we often think of PDF documents as static and immutable. This mental model is wrong.

In this presentation, we give a brief overview of PDF (in-)security and describe a novel kind of attack where a malicious PDF document can

  • change its displayed content with time (while the file stays the same)
  • display different content to different people

We publish details and a proof of concept at https://github.com/vlkl-sap/perfidy-deception-fraud
