Basic security practices for iOS applications

Based on this experience, we have developed a set of security requirements that we follow. Naturally, every year there are new technologies and opportunities, and with them - new behaviors and vulnerabilities. In this article, we fixed the main points of security for iOS applications that are relevant at the beginning of 2018.

I wrote a mobile application - I want a patent

A mobile application is a whole bunch of technical solutions, and therefore potential inventions. A novice inventor should remember that an invention is one improvement, be it a new type of active user interface element, a new way of processing and transmitting information to the server, or the concept of the application as a whole.
