OWASP Mobile Application Security (MASVS): SAST/DAST Analysis & Anti-Tampering Checklists
By Mobile Threat Intelligence & Defensive Architecture Review Board
Hardening mobile applications: OWASP MASVS v2 categories, SSL/TLS certificate pinning, binary obfuscation via ProGuard/R8, and Frida hook detection.
The OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) establishes baseline security requirements for iOS and Android application development.
1. OWASP MASVS Security Pillars
- MASVS-STORAGE: All sensitive tokens and credentials must be stored in encrypted Keystore/Keychain containers with NO cleartext sqlite databases or SharedPreferences.
- MASVS-NETWORK: Enforce TLS 1.3 with Certificate Transparency and HPKP pinning, rejecting custom user CA certificates.
- MASVS-CRYPTO: Prohibit deprecated symmetric ciphers (DES, RC4, AES-ECB) in favor of authenticated AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305.
- MASVS-RESILIENCE: Implement runtime application self-protection (RASP), detecting dynamic instrumentation frameworks like Frida, Xposed, and Cycript.
