Writing Secure Code in iOS

Over 7 courses, this specialization will teach you to incorporate security in iOS application development for mobile devices. Each course explores a major iOS security category. The first course will provide an introduction to secure coding and how to validate your input. The next course will discuss memory corruption and then focus on securing your data via encryption while addressing common risks and how to avoid them. The last course will cover access control and protecting software and system integrity. You will work with many examples, directly seeing the impact of missing or poor security in the code snippet. You will then apply what you have learned to improve the security of those apps. You will then test the app to ensure that the security risk has been mitigated
