Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Android Bad Practices: Missing Network Security Configuration
Abstract
The application does not use Network Security Configuration.
Explanation
The Network Security Configuration feature lets apps customize their network security settings in a safe, declarative configuration file without modifying app code. These settings can be configured for specific domains and for a specific app. The key capabilities of this feature are as follows:
- Custom trust anchors: Customize which Certificate Authorities (CA) are trusted for an app's secure connections. For example, trusting particular self-signed certificates or restricting the set of public CAs that the app trusts.
- Debug-only overrides: Safely debug secure connections in an app without added risk to the installed base.
- Cleartext traffic opt-out: Protect apps from accidental usage of cleartext traffic.
- Certificate pinning: Restrict an app's secure connection to particular certificates.
