Course Information

The course is a 3-day format, with different options for different interests. This first day is intended to provide a good overview of the security problems associated with mobile devices. Topics covered:

• A cross-platform look common weaknesses and how to attack them
• Primer on identity management and cloud computing for mobile applications
• Using threat modeling to find (and remove) architectural weaknesses
• How to best perform code reviews

For days two and three, the group breaks into two separate classes: one on iOS and one on Android, where platform-specific issues are discussed, along with remediations, and how to implement them. Topics covered:

• Common platform weaknesses (using OWASP’s iGoat and GoatDroid tools)
• Analyzing an off-the-shelf app (and learning from its problems)
• Platform and application architecture
• Coding lab on building application security controls into your application
• Setting up a test rig and testing the security of mobile applications

Day three is optional and a repeat of day two, so developers can use this as an immersion course into both iOS and Android platform specifics.
