iOS Security

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Implementation Workflow

  1. Store secrets in Keychain — Use SecItemAdd, SecItemUpdate, and SecItemDelete with kSecClassGenericPassword for tokens/PII. Never use UserDefaults.
  2. Add biometric auth — Use LocalAuthentication with LAContext. Verify availability with canEvaluatePolicy before prompting.
  3. Encrypt files — Use Data.WritingOptions.completeFileProtection when saving to disk.
  4. Keep ATS enabled — Never disable App Transport Security globally in Info.plist.
  5. Pin certificates — Use ServerTrustManager or TrustKit for production apps to prevent MITM attacks.
  6. Strip sensitive logs — Ensure PII and tokens are removed from logs in Release builds.

See Keychain and biometrics implementation examples

Anti-Patterns

  • ❌ Secrets in UserDefaults — always use Keychain
  • ❌ Unhandled LAError — check for userCancel, authenticationFailed, etc.
  • ❌ PII/token logging in Release builds — strip sensitive data from all log output
