Build hybrid mobile applications like a security pro!

Presented at BSidesLV 2023, Aug. 8, 2023, 10:30 a.m. (45 minutes)

Hybrid mobile applications, unlike native ones, primarily function through a set of external, generally open source, libraries that help access the mobile operating system's native capabilities. But what does this mean in terms of security? Mobile applications come with their own set of security loopholes and attack vectors. Does this approach pose new challenges or exacerbate existing ones? In this talk, instead of discussing a known set of secure libraries, the attendees will understand the mobile threat model and learn how to vet a library by themselves.
