Abstract
At some point, you will have to interface with a web application. Whether you’re talking to a RESTful API from a third party or exchanging data with your own back-end web application, your mobile app needs to be open to the idea of interaction with other applications. Naturally, as a responsible developer, it is your job to ensure that the data exchange is done so that attackers cannot access or alter private data belonging to the end user. We spent time exploring “data at rest” in previous chapters, when we looked at data storage and encryption. In this chapter, we will cover “data in transit.”
