You're developing an AR app with sensitive user data. How do you keep it secure?

When developing an augmented reality (AR) app that handles sensitive user data, it's vital to implement robust security measures. Follow these strategies to ensure data protection:

  • Encrypt data: Use strong encryption methods for both stored and transmitted data to prevent unauthorized access.

  • Implement authentication: Require multi-factor authentication \(MFA\) to add an extra layer of security for user access.

  • Regular security audits: Conduct frequent security assessments to identify vulnerabilities and address them promptly.

How do you ensure data security in your AR projects?

    To secure an AR app with sensitive data: 1) Encrypt Data: Use AES encryption for data storage and TLS for data transmission. 2) Implement OAuth 2.0 for secure user authentication. 3) Access Control: Apply role-based access to restrict sensitive data access. 4) Device Security: Use secure device storage (e.g., Android Keystore, iOS Keychain). 5) Updates: Patch vulnerabilities promptly. Example: A fitness AR app encrypts heart rate data with AES-256, uses OAuth 2.0 for login, and stores keys in the Keychain to ensure data security across devices.

    Developing an AR app with sensitive user data requires robust security measures. Encrypt data both in transit and at rest using methods like TLS and AES-256 to prevent unauthorized access. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for secure user access and secure APIs by following OWASP guidelines to mitigate vulnerabilities. Minimize data collection, store only what’s necessary, and use anonymization to protect PII. Conduct regular security audits, including penetration testing, and utilize tools like SAST/DAST for vulnerability detection. Ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR through privacy-by-design principles, providing transparency and control over user data.

    Authentification sounds to me the minimum requirement in addition of secured transmission. Also depending on the industry you ll be working with some data are more or less sensitive so 1/ first check what data are a priority or not for your client and the experience itself 2/ check with client if specific requirement (banking sector... GDPR etc. 3/ Expose your security 4/ Get validation from your customer Note that most of the time you process data and don't own them.
