Configuration

The minimum configuration for the AppProtection is setting up the username, password, and public key for the service. However, we recommend configuring all features that are present in the SDK.

The Username, Password and Signature Public Key can be obtained in the Malwarelytics console. Note that these credentials are bound to your application Bundle ID. If you need to support multiple environments (Bundle IDs), you need different credentials for each environment.

Configuring the Service

To enable Malwarelytics in your app, you need to create a properly configured instance of the AppProtectionService class and set the AppProtectionRaspDelegate to obtain callbacks.

You should implement the following three configurations:

  • AppProtectionConfig - Configures generic parameters, such as service credentials or app user ID.
  • AppProtectionRaspConfig - Configures which RASP features are enabled and default actions for the detections.
  • AppProtectionEventConfig - Configures which RASP events are emitted and sent to the back-end services.

Based on the configuration, the AppProtectionRaspDelegate then receives updates about various RASP events.

Sample Integration

The AppSecurity swift class is a sample implementation over the AppProtectionService.

import Foundation
import AppProtection

class AppSecurity: AppProtectionRaspDelegate {
    
    private let appProtection: AppProtectionService

    /// Creates AppSecurity instance
    /// - Parameter clientId: ID of the user
    init(clientId: String?) {
    
        // Prepare the RASP feature configuration
        let raspConfig = AppProtectionRaspConfig(
            jailbreak: .exit("https://myurl.com/jalibreak-explained"), // exit on jailbroken phone
            debugger: .block, // block debugger
            reverseEngineeringTools: .notify, // let me know when user installed revers engineering tools
            httpProxy: .notify, // notify me via delegate when http proxy is enabled
            repackage:.exit([AppProtectionTrustedCert(withBase64EncodedString: "BASE_64_ENCODED_CERT")!], "https://myurl.com/repackage-explained"), // follow documentation how to obtain certificate string
            screenCapture: .notify // notify me via delegate when user takes a screenshot
        )
        
        // Prepare the configuration for events
        let eventConfig = AppProtectionEventConfig(
            enableEventCollection: true, // enable event collection in general
            enableScreenshotTakenCollection: true // /track screenshot events in the Malwarelytics console on the server
        )
        
        // Prepare a configuration for service
        let config = AppProtectionConfig(
            username: "$USERNAME",
            password: "$PASSWORD",
            signaturePublicKey: "$PUBKEY",
            clientAppUserId: clientId,
            raspConfig: raspConfig,
            eventsConfig: eventConfig
        )

        // Create the Service
        self.appProtection = AppProtectionService(config: config)

        // Set the delegate to obtain RASP callbacks
        self.appProtection.rasp.addDelegate(self)
    }
    
    deinit {
        // When our AppSecurity class is being "destroyed", we want 
        // to stop all features of the AppProtectionService.
        // To do so, we need to release all its assets before
        // the only reference that "holds it" is removed.
        
        self.appProtection.release()
    }

    /// Report in-app incident
    /// - Parameter incident: Incident that happened inside the app
    func reportIncident(_ incident: RaspIncident) {
        self.appProtection.events.log(incident.appProtectionValue)
    }

    /// Call when client id changes (paired/unpaired the app).
    /// - Parameter clientId: Client id
    func setClientId(_ clientId: String?) {
        self.appProtection.clientAppUserId = clientId
    }

    /// AppProtection resets the device indicator and starts registering it as a new device.
    func resetServiceId() {
        self.appProtection.resetInstanceId()
    }

    // MARK: - AppProtectionRaspDelegate

    func debuggerDetected() {
        // react to debugger
    }

    func jailbreakDetected() {
        // react to jailbreak
    }

    func repackageDetected() {
        // react to repackage
    }

    func httpProxyEnabled() {
        // react to http proxy enabled
    }

    func userScreenshotDetected() {
        // react to user screenshot
    }

    func reverseEngineeringToolsDetected() {
        // react to reverse engineering tools
    }

    func systemPasscodeConfigurationChanged(enabled: Bool) {
        // react to system passcode change
    }

    func systemBiometryConfigurationChanged(enabled: Bool) {
        // react to biometry configuration changed
    }
    
    func screenCapturedChanged(isCaptured: Bool) {
        // react to screen capturing (casting to different device)
    }
}

enum RaspIncident {
    case sslInvalidCert
    case deviceUnpaired
    case devicePaired
    case deviceBlocked
    case userIgnoredWeakPassphrase
    case passphraseChanged
    case biometryEnabled
    case biometryDisabled
    case authenticationFailed
    case authenticationSuccess

    var appProtectionValue: AppProtectionEvent {
        switch self {
        case .sslInvalidCert: return AppProtectionEvent.Network.sslInvalidCertificate
        case .deviceUnpaired: return AppProtectionEvent.Authentication.deviceUnpaired
        case .devicePaired: return AppProtectionEvent.Authentication.devicePaired
        case .deviceBlocked: return AppProtectionEvent.Authentication.deviceBlocked
        case .userIgnoredWeakPassphrase: return AppProtectionEvent.Authentication.userIgnoredWeakPassphrase
        case .passphraseChanged: return AppProtectionEvent.Authentication.passphraseChanged
        case .biometryEnabled: return AppProtectionEvent.Authentication.biometryEnabled
        case .biometryDisabled: return AppProtectionEvent.Authentication.biometryDisabled
        case .authenticationFailed: return AppProtectionEvent.Authentication.authenticationFailed
        case .authenticationSuccess: return AppProtectionEvent.Authentication.authenticationSuccess
        }
    }
}

Be aware that creation of 2 instances of AppProtectionService is considered to be logical error and will result in application crash.

Before deiniting (removing all references to) the AppProtectionService object, you need to call release() that will stop all its functionality. Deiniting without release will result in application crash
