Bulletproof Android: Practical Advice for Building Secure Apps - Developer's Library Godfrey Nolan 1.º edición

In Bulletproof Android, Godfrey Nolan brings together comprehensive, up-to-date best practices for writing apps that resist attack and won't leak information: yours, or your users. Unlike other Android security books focused on "breaking" code, Bulletproof Android focuses on strengthening code security throughout your entire development lifecycle. Nolan thoroughly addresses crucial issues including:

• Protecting code that communicates with back-end web servers
• Safeguarding Android databases, including SQLite and SQLcipher
• Resisting web service attacks via XSS, SQL injection, and other means
• Using webviews securely
• Enabling secure user login and information transmission
• Protecting code and business rules from reverse engineering
• Safely integrating third-party libraries
• Taking advantage of encryption, SELinux, Knox, and Mobile Device Management
• Futureproofing code: DVM, ART, and beyond
• And much more

Each tactic and technique is presented with working code examples and practical advice -- including expert insights into pros, cons, and tradeoffs. All source code is available for download, and each subsection is supported with a complete sample app that demonstrates security problems and how to solve them.
