    Study Notes

    MASVS Control Groups

    • MASVS-XXXXX represents critical mobile attack surface areas
    • MASVS-STORAGE: Secure storage of sensitive data (data-at-rest)

    MASVS-STORAGE-1: Securely Store Sensitive Data

    • Encryption at Rest: Use strong algorithms like AES-256 to protect data
    • Secure Storage Locations: Leverage platform-specific secure storage solutions (Android Keystore, iOS Secure Enclave) for sensitive data like keys and tokens
    • Key Management: Store encryption keys separately from data, secured using hardware-backed key management systems

    MASVS-STORAGE-2: Prevent Leakage of Sensitive Data

    • No Sensitive Data in Logs: Avoid logging sensitive data in error messages or stack traces
    • Exclude from Unencrypted Backups: Ensure sensitive data is not included in backups until encrypted
    • Data Minimization: Store only necessary sensitive data
    • Secure Data Transfer: Prevent sensitive data from being stored in insecure locations or transmitted unencrypted
