Example 10: Mobile App Security

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the libraries from the Network Security Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

The range of applications for modern mobile devices impresses with its diversity. However, not many of them, even the most popular, secure and encrypt the information that they send or receive. This often turns by a serious threat to users and their devices, especially when you work with your bank account, fill the taxes, or make the purchases with a credit card. This sample was designed on the base of diagram from the article "How secure is that mobile app?" of N.V. Fleming published on the website of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Often the companies not validate security certificates to make sure that the apps sent the information to the right place. So, the users are susceptible to the attacks of the “man in the middle”, which remaining unnoticed can simply trick the app and allows it the access to communications between the app and online service. The best way of protection is to use secure networks, which obligatory encrypt the information.
