Secure network communication is not my forte. So I figured it would not hurt to post and get some feedback.
I have a basic server for posting scores, processing push notifications and handling user accounts for my current and future apps. However I would like to make this secure, if possible, to the standards of other networks. What I am curious about is my lack of really knowing what is going on with 3rd party networks and the use of secret keys to allow more secure transactions.
Anyone who can shed some light on these questions, it would be appreciated.
Are all communications with these networks done using HTTPS?
Are they encrpyting data? (my guess here is no, as it would require your app to be submitted to the goverment when using these APIs.)
How exactly would secret keys make communications more secure?
Any insights are welcome. [import]uid: 56820 topic_id: 24768 reply_id: 324768[/import]
