Attackers Reverse Engineer Client

  1. All clients can be reverse engineered, monitored, and modified
  2. All encryption keys and mechanisms are not secrets
  3. All intellectual property (algorithms, data) is disclosed


Attackers Create Malicious Client, Server, or Proxy

  1. Tamper with requests and responses
  2. Spoof a legitimate client or server application


Attackers Target Rich Client Application Itself

  1. Clients can be abused - especially if they are "listening"
  2. All forms of input corruption (injection, overflow, etc.) can be used
  3. Spoofed server can be set up

Attackers Target Server Application Vulnerabilities

  1. All typical server application issues are possible

Client Security Considerations

  1. Mutual authentication over SSL
  2. Access control
  3. Not possible on client?
  4. Input validation
