Objective
The OWASP/ENISA Mobile Secure Development Guidelines will be living, open source documents, that provide knowledge and guidance for developers for creating secure mobile applications.
Target audience
The output will be:
- A main document aimed at developers and software architects
- A CIO/CSO/CEO/CTO-level document motivating the use of the guidlines.
Main document skeleton
Who we are, who wrote it, where an online version can be found, how people can contribute.
Executive summary
Why this document. A convincing argument to c-level for why they should give priority to security in mobile dev projects. FUD goes here.
Architecture and design principles
Starting from a risk-based approach; Starting from ENISA/OWASP/Veracode top ten risks (extended, modified) (for example see the Veracode top ten risks and eventual OWASP top 10 risks), we state architecture and design principles, that address these risks.
- Architecture and design principles and examples of what they mean for secure
mobile/smartphone applications,- e.g. minimal disclosure, minimal on-device storage, don’t allow untrusted update of add-ons, do not allow access to sensor data from other applications, authenticate backend.
Coding techniques
- Code level controls (based on the principles) - What to look for in the code. E.g. checklist
for persistent storage code, identifier schemes, authentication mechanisms, etc...
- Platform-specific how-to’s and how not to’s, common errors and vulnerabilities, sample
code (on how to implement common control), how not-to app (mobile version of WebGoat).
- Optionally (stage 2) - open source libraries - mobile version of ESAPI
