COD 366 – Creating Secure Kotlin Applications

Course Overview

As a prime option for building android applications because of its interoperability with java code, maintainability, reliability, and ability to boost team efficiency, Kotlin is being widely adopted but comes with its own set of challenges as does any technology. This course is designed to ensure learners avoid common mistakes and pitfalls as they leverage vital features and build secure mobile applications using this general-purpose programming language.

Upon successful completion of this course, learners will have the knowledge and skills required to meet privacy compliance requirements, including:

• Enforcing secure communication by safeguarding the data that you exchange between your app and other apps, or between your app and a website, thereby improving your app’s stability and protecting the data that you send and receive.
• Using intents to defer permissions
• Storing all private user data within the device’s internal storage (which is sandboxed per app)
• Ensuring the device deletes all files when the user uninstalls an app
