概述
Securing a mobile application requires a multi-layered strategy that spans data protection, secure coding, API management, and compliance with privacy regulations. Mobile apps are common targets for attacks due to local storage, device vulnerabilities, and unprotected APIs.
Key Security Practices
- Data Encryption: Encrypt data in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256)
- Secure Authentication: Use OAuth, biometric login, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Code Obfuscation: Prevent reverse engineering of application binaries
- API Security: Validate requests, rate limit, and protect with authentication tokens
- Permission Management: Request only necessary app permissions
- Secure Local Storage: Avoid storing sensitive data on the device
- App Store Compliance: Follow Apple and Google guidelines for security and privacy
Common Threats
- Insecure data storage
- Unencrypted transmissions
- Weak authentication flows
- Exposed APIs
- Outdated third-party libraries
Compliance Standards
- GDPR (EU data protection)
- CCPA (California privacy)
