Best Practices
Welcome to our best practices guide! These recommendations will help you use the Reclaim Protocol React Native SDK securely and efficiently in your mobile applications.
1. Protect Your Application Secret
Never include your Application Secret in your React Native app's code. This is crucial for maintaining the security of your application.
Key security measures:
- Store your
APP_SECRET
exclusively on your backend server - Use environment variables or secure storage solutions for sensitive information like
APP_ID
- Implement secure secret rotation practices
2. Secure Communication
Implement secure data transmission:
- Use HTTPS for all network communications
- Enable SSL/TLS certificate validation
- Implement certificate pinning for additional security
- Encrypt sensitive data before transmission
3. API Security Implementation
Protect your API endpoints with:
- Strong authentication mechanisms
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Rate limiting to prevent abuse
- Input validation and sanitization
Implementation Guidelines
1. Error Handling Strategy
Implement comprehensive error handling to enhance reliability:
2. SDK Maintenance
Regularly update the SDK to ensure you have the latest features and security improvements.
