Mobile Application Security

• 1. APIS- USE AUTHORIZED ONES 
• APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are
  tools that assist programmers in the development
  of software. APIs are an important aspect
  of backend development, but they may be a
  security nightmare because they frequently
  interact with the outside world. For best
  security, professionals advise that APIs be
  approved centrally. 
• 2. SOURCE CODE ENCRYPTION 
• Because the majority of a native mobile apps
  code is on the client-side, mobile malware may
  readily trace defects and vulnerabilities in the
  source code and design. Take, for example, the
  well-known Facebook, where the suspected hacking
  of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos WhatsApp account has
  gotten a lot of attention. 
• Developers should make sure their apps are
  sufficiently resilient to prevent attacks by
  reverse engineering and manipulation. Source code
  encryption is an ideal technique to protect your
  software against these threats as it ensures that
  it is unreadable.

• 3. DATA TRANSMISSION SECURITY 
• Data breaches and theft shall be safeguarded
  against sensitive information passed from the
  client to the server. VPNs, SSL, TLS can all help
  to protect transit data as well as to cipher it
  between source and recipient. This way mobile
  application security is guaranteed. 
• 4. EMPLOY THE CURRENT CRYPTOGRAPHY TECHNIQUE 
• Popular cryptographic algorithms like MD5 and
  SHA1 have proven ineffective for todays security
  needs. Its best not to hard code your keys,
  because this makes them easier to steal. Keep
  your keys in safe containers and dont keep them
  on the device itself. For hashing, use only the
  most recent and reliable APIs, such as 256-bit
  AES encryption and SHA-256.  
• To achieve failsafe mobile application
  security, you should also perform manual
  penetration testing and threat modeling on your
  apps before they go live.

• 5. FREQUENT TESTING 
• How nicely you have secured your app doesnt
  matter because safeguarding your app is a
  never-ending task. New threats emerge,
  necessitating the development of new solutions.
  Before each deployment, its been standard
  practice to test your app against a set of
  randomly created security situations. Penetration
  testing, and that too repeatedly, is the key to
  failsafe mobile app security. 
• 6. REDUCE PERMISSIONS 
• To access hardware and function properly, mobile
  applications require different permissions. To
  reduce the spread of malware in mobile, it is
  necessary to ask for permissions that are
  required to access only the essential
  functionalities to reduce the number of
  connections the app has. 
• 7. TAMPER PROTECTION 
• There have been numerous instances of rip-off
  apps being downloaded from app stores. Tamper
  protection is a necessity for security in Android
  apps because they are easily reverse-engineered.

• There are a variety of techniques to tamper-proof
  an Android app, so employ one or more of them to
  secure your users. 
• 8. Non-Reliability on Third-Party Libraries 
• Developers usually incorporate some freely
  available code portions to accomplish their
  coding tasks. But it is important to understand
  that these codes are not always safe to
  incorporate. To safeguard their apps from library
  vulnerabilities, developers should use restricted
  internal repositories and implement policy
  controls during procurement.
• 9. Use of Multi-factor Authentication 
• Hackers get a golden opportunity to access
  confidential data if there is no authentication
  step for extra security. Users easily can fall
  prey to malicious activities, resulting in the
  loss of their sensitive data. Multifactor
  authentication is a strong weapon in the fight
  against cyber-crimes.
