June 2015 Meetup - "Knock Knock: A Survey of iOS Authentication Methods"

Summary:

Nearly all "fascinating" cellular functions do not exist in a vacuum. They depend on exterior methods for much of their information, and as such, on a regular basis want a way for calculation out and authenticating the appliance's consumer to the server. How this occurs varies broadly.

As a part of my day job, I on a regular basis overview cellular functions on iOS then have seen some ways for functions to authenticate to the server -- some good, some nice, some OMG terrible. On this discuss, I am going to overview among the frequent (and not-so-common) strategies I've detected each on apps I've seen busy and simply what's in operation by myself iStuff. I am going to discuss what's good and what's dangerous, and most significantly, why. And eventually, I am going to attempt to counsel some normal recommendation which you can observe when designing your personal cellular apps, or when reviewing them on your personal group.

That is an up up to now model of a chat given earlier this 12 months at ShmooCon. I will be including new functions to the survey, and revisiting up up to now variations of the apps I've already reviewed.
