Learn How to Block Mobile App Bot attacks using Session Secrets, and Stop Credential Stuffing Attacks. No Code, No SDK, Continuous Security.
Shared Secret is a service that enables developers to specify a secret, such as a unique password, that will be embedded within each mobile app client request. The purpose of the unique secret is to validate that the mobile app is valid, and not an automated bot or botnet. The secret will be verified by the backend server, and will only allow valid clients to connect.
By specifying a unique secret that will be included in the header of every URL request made by the application, this service allows the backend server to identify the mobile app and verify its validity. When this feature enabled, all traffic to the backend server that does not contain the shared secret will be blocked.
