摘要: Smartphones are increasingly used worldwide and now an essential tool for our everyday tasks. These tasks supported by smartphone applications (apps) which commonly rely on network communication to provide a certain utility such as online banking. From security privacy point of view properly secured (encrypted) channel is important in order protect sensitive information against passive active attacks. Previous research outlined that developers often fail implement proper certificate validation their custom SSL/TLS implementations thus secure the communication. however proposed solutions not affected users. This global growth introduced drastic changes utilization. In this paper we discuss issue basis Android apps. We analyzed over 50,000 apps, collected during two consecutive years, regarding correct use protocols. Furthermore, current situation. propose dynamic pinning, device-based solution overcomes problem broken To best knowledge, first solve combining established techniques pinning with instrumentation tackle one major challenges applications.
