Our VisionCreate a comprehensive methodology that covers the processes, techniques, and tools used during a mobile app security test, and define a complete set of test cases that enables testers to deliver consistent and complete results. At least, that was the initial vision. However, we soon discovered that we had to ask some deeper questions on what mobile app security is about: Without a reasonable definition a "secure" mobile app, there wasn't really anything to test against. We therefore went back to the drawing board and wrote the MASVS, a "mobile security standard" that defines the baseline security requirements. Main Documents

How can I participate in your project?
First of all, read the author's guide and decide in what for you would like to contribute. Then, contact the lead author responsible for the chapter you are interested in. You can find their name and GitHub handle in the project README. Please always check with the responsible person first, or you might end up working on a chapter that's already being done by someone else. In any case, we encourage you to join OWASP Mobile Security Project Slack Channel, where you'll find all the other project members. You can sign up for an account here.
The home of the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide is on GitHub. You are encourged to fork, edit and push your changes back to the project through git or edit the project directly on github.
If I am not a programmer can I participate in your project?
Yes, you can certainly participate in the project if you are not a programmer or technical. The project needs different skills and expertise and different times during its development. Currently, we are looking for researchers, writers, graphic designers, and a project administrator.

Q2 2017: Beta release Q3 2017: Version 1.0
A project roadmap is the envisioned plan for the project. The purpose of the roadmap is to help others understand where the project is going. It gives the community a chance to understand the context and the vision for the goal of the project. Additionally, if a project becomes inactive, or if the project is abandoned, a roadmap can help ensure a project can be adopted and continued under leadership.
As of November 2016, the priorities are:
- Finish the referencing for each principle.
- Update the Project Template.
- Use the OWASP Press to develop a book.
- Finish and publish the book on Lulu.
Involvement in the development and promotion of the OWASP Security Principles Project is actively encouraged! You do not have to be a security expert in order to contribute. Some of the ways you can help:
- Helping find references to some of the principles.
- Project administration support.
- Wiki editing support.
- Writing support for the book.
To be completed.
