## Prerequisites

### iOS Development
```bash
# TrustKit for certificate pinning
pod 'TrustKit'

# Keychain wrapper
pod 'KeychainAccess'
```

### Android Development
```groovy
// build.gradle
dependencies {
    implementation 'androidx.security:security-crypto:1.1.0-alpha06'
    implementation 'androidx.biometric:biometric:1.1.0'
}
```

### Security Tools
```bash
# OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide tools
pip install objection
brew install frida-tools
```

## Usage Patterns

### iOS Keychain Storage
```swift
import Security

class KeychainManager {
    static func save(key: String, data: Data) -> Bool {
        let query: [String: Any] = [
            kSecClass as String: kSecClassGenericPassword,
            kSecAttrAccount as String: key,
            kSecValueData as String: data,
            kSecAttrAccessible as String: kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly
        ]

        SecItemDelete(query as CFDictionary)
        let status = SecItemAdd(query as CFDictionary, nil)
        return status == errSecSuccess
    }

    static func load(key: String) -> Data? {
        let query: [String: Any] = [
            kSecClass as String: kSecClassGenericPassword,
            kSecAttrAccount as String: key,
            kSecReturnData as String: true,
            kSecMatchLimit as String: kSecMatchLimitOne
        ]

        var result: AnyObject?
        let status = SecItemCopyMatching(query as CFDictionary, &result)
        return status == errSecSuccess ? result as? Data : nil
    }
}
```

### Android EncryptedSharedPreferences
```kotlin
import androidx.security.crypto.EncryptedSharedPreferences
import androidx.security.crypto.MasterKey

class SecureStorage(context: Context) {
    private val masterKey = MasterKey.Builder(context)
        .setKeyScheme(MasterKey.KeyScheme.AES256_GCM)
        .build()

    private val sharedPreferences = EncryptedSharedPreferences.create(
        context,
        "secure_prefs",
        masterKey,
        EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefKeyEncryptionScheme.AES256_SIV,
        EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefValueEncryptionScheme.AES256_GCM
    )

    fun saveToken(token: String) {
        sharedPreferences.edit().putString("auth_token", token).apply()
    }

    fun getToken(): String? {
        return sharedPreferences.getString("auth_token", null)
    }
}
```

### Certificate Pinning (iOS - TrustKit)
```swift
import TrustKit

class NetworkSecurityManager {
    static func configurePinning() {
        let trustKitConfig: [String: Any] = [
            kTSKSwizzleNetworkDelegates: false,
            kTSKPinnedDomains: [
                "api.example.com": [
                    kTSKEnforcePinning: true,
                    kTSKIncludeSubdomains: true,
                    kTSKExpirationDate: "2027-01-01",
                    kTSKPublicKeyHashes: [
                        "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=",
                        "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB="
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        ]
        TrustKit.initSharedInstance(withConfiguration: trustKitConfig)
    }
}
```

### Certificate Pinning (Android - OkHttp)
```kotlin
import okhttp3.CertificatePinner
import okhttp3.OkHttpClient

val certificatePinner = CertificatePinner.Builder()
    .add("api.example.com", "sha256/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=")
    .add("api.example.com", "sha256/BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB=")
    .build()

val client = OkHttpClient.Builder()
    .certificatePinner(certificatePinner)
    .build()
```

### Biometric Authentication (iOS)
```swift
import LocalAuthentication

class BiometricAuth {
    func authenticate(completion: @escaping (Bool, Error?) -> Void) {
        let context = LAContext()
        var error: NSError?

        if context.canEvaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, error: &error) {
            context.evaluatePolicy(
                .deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics,
                localizedReason: "Authenticate to access secure data"
            ) { success, error in
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    completion(success, error)
                }
            }
        } else {
            completion(false, error)
        }
    }
}
```

### Biometric Authentication (Android)
```kotlin
import androidx.biometric.BiometricPrompt
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentActivity

class BiometricAuth(private val activity: FragmentActivity) {
    fun authenticate(onSuccess: () -> Unit, onError: (String) -> Unit) {
        val executor = ContextCompat.getMainExecutor(activity)

        val biometricPrompt = BiometricPrompt(activity, executor,
            object : BiometricPrompt.AuthenticationCallback() {
                override fun onAuthenticationSucceeded(result: BiometricPrompt.AuthenticationResult) {
                    onSuccess()
                }

                override fun onAuthenticationError(errorCode: Int, errString: CharSequence) {
                    onError(errString.toString())
                }
            })

        val promptInfo = BiometricPrompt.PromptInfo.Builder()
            .setTitle("Biometric Authentication")
            .setSubtitle("Authenticate to access secure data")
            .setNegativeButtonText("Cancel")
            .build()

        biometricPrompt.authenticate(promptInfo)
    }
}
```
