Implementing High Security In Mobile Applications

Simmi27

Can anyone help me with ideas on how to provide high security to our mobile application? I got one project idea which needs good security to protect customer's account from hacking, illegal access etc. Please provide some suggestions

It depends on what kind of application you are developing and for which mobile phones, is it Browser based application or an app for smartphones (if yes, which one? please be specific) Also what all access it requires..
Based on all that U may use different security features ranging from HTTPS/../SSL to
encryption/../hashing.

Well, its going to be an app for smart phones. The user would have an account and a passcode. I wanted suggestions on the use of graphical authentication and how to develop it. Image recognition or OTP used in banks, can that be applied too?
Or can we try with the cryptography algorithms?

OTP will provide a good amount of security, and yes, it can be applied. You may apply TLS for data transfer and encryption for securing the passcode.
Graphical authentication,..well user may choose a pattern, and each time login, a grid may appear on which user draws same pattern, (just like smartphone lockscreen).
But I think too much complexity will make the app a little less user friendly, so my advice is to use high bit security algorithm, but finally, it depends on your app, that how much security it needs. So good luck...
