Overview

Meeting and exceeding the highest security standards are key in a financial app, those have been secured both in the iOS and Android OS app by the followings:

Asymmetric keypairs - private keys to sign, public keys to verify data (EC-P256 key pairs)
Hardware-backed Android KeyStore / Android Key Attestation / iOS keychain
Certificate pinning
Device binding
Password-derivation
Encrypted database (Values are encrypted also prior storing the data in the database)
OS provided Biometric authentication / fallback to device pin unlocks the application (Upon a set timeout period the application locks itself)

Key achievements

Flawless integration of financial accounts and contracts
Implementation of the most secure biometric authentication support with pin code as a fallback
Enablement of In-app messaging by the seamless integration of custom messaging solution with a customized IconicFinance interface

Project requirements

IT consulting and incremental implementation
Native Android OS and iOS mobile applications
Flexible integration into an ongoing project with dozens of team members

Implementation

SnapSoft has either developed the module and feature or has been involved to help engineering with the implementation, in cooperation with other developers working on the project.
The continuous beta user feedback, the complexity of a feature-rich and ever-evolving application, and the large number of people involved in the project made efficient communication and coordination key. Keeping the designers / stakeholders / UX researchers and software engineers on the same page SnapSoft used the following tools and platforms:

Figma - Pixel perfect designs for both mobile platforms
Miro - Detailed flow and app logic
JIRA - Ongoing refinement and feature documentation
Confluence - Simple documentations - a consolidated wiki for everything mentioned above

Best-in-class code quality has been maintained by the following fail-safe mechanisms:

Automated linter rules applied for code formatting
Regression and integration testing have to pass for every new piece of code
At least 2 developers (other than the one writing the code) have to approve the new code piece
