How to Improve the Security Skills of Mobile App Developers? Comparing and Contrasting Expert Views

Authors: 

Charles Weir and Awais Rashid, Lancaster University; James Noble, Victoria University

Abstract: 

Programmers’ lack of knowledge and ability in secure development threatens everyone who uses mobile apps. There’s no consensus on how to empower app programmers to get that knowledge. Based on interviews with twelve industry experts we argue that the discipline of secure app development is still at an early stage. Only once industry and academia have produced effective app developer motivation and training approaches shall we begin to see the kinds of secure apps we need to combat crime and privacy invasions.
