10
Commandments
Security Of
From Idea to Launch Ensuring Security in Mobile App Development
Incorporate Security from
the Beginning
Building an application involves planning,
research, ideation, prototyping, and extensive
testing. It's crucial to integrate security
measures into every stage of this process.
Regardless of the development methodology
you employ, Security should be a fundamental
consideration. Always consult your security
team when making changes or planning
significant revisions to address potential
issues promptly.
Quality Control for Mobile
Applications
The Security of your mobile app should be a
priority from the get-go. Native applications
are particularly vulnerable as their code
remains on the device post-download. Ensure
your code is thoroughly tested and encrypted
to prevent potential security flaws.
SING UP
Backend API Security
APIs are integral to backend programming but
can pose security challenges. It's essential to
have security measures in place for your
backend servers and validate all APIs for the
mobile platform you're developing for.
Use Latest Cryptography
Techniques
Traditional cryptographic algorithms like MD5
and SHA1 are no longer sufficient for today's
security needs. Use advanced encryption
techniques like AES with 256-bit encryption
and SHA-256 for hashing. Also, consider
manual penetration testing and threat
modeling for robust Security.
Think Like an Attacker
When writing your code, consider potential
vulnerabilities attackers could exploit. Include
time in your code reviews to look for ways
your app could be compromised and test for
all potential flaws, not just the obvious ones.
Secure Data Provisions
Mobile applications often access sensitive
data, usually stored in the device's
unstructured storage. It's essential to protect
this data to prevent breaches. Encrypt all
sensitive information on your device and use
secure methods like file-level encryption,
VPNs, SSL, and TLS to protect data during
transit.
Secure Data in Transit
Protect sensitive data being transferred from
the client to the backend servers. Use SSL
certificates to establish a secure connection
between your user and your server,
preventing hacking attempts and data theft.
Prevent Accidental Data Breaches
Your mobile app will likely require permission
to collect personal data from your users.
Adopt a zero-trust security approach, only
requesting access to features like the dialer,
contacts, or camera when necessary.
Minimize Data Storage
Avoid storing confidential user data on the
device or your servers. If data storage is
unavoidable, use encrypted data containers or
critical chains with cookies for password
storage. Also, ensure logs are automatically
deleted after a set period.
Static and Dynamic Verification
While still in their early stages, static and
dynamic verification methodologies can be
incorporated into secure mobile development.
Use static methods to analyze mobile code
during development and prevent misuse of
APIs.
