Rule Definition
Mobile apps that communicate over the Internet often fail to properly implement SSL/TLS, if they
implement it at all. These failures could leave users’ communications open to interception and even
session hijacking. Using SSL/TLS properly involves careful checking of the server’s certificate chain. Thus,
an app or library that validates SSL/TLS certificates should do the following checks to ensure strong
authentication, confidentiality and integrity.
